Weird....two issues though...if the idea was a mid-engined Vette...the DCT would have been a transverse design, not longitudinal. Meaning it couldn't simple be popped into a Camaro unless it was 1) FWD *shrieks*, or 2) also Mid-engined...

They'd have to develop a whole line of these advanced transmissions. I wonder if they've got the drive (no pun intended) to do it, now? I remember a report stating they had been looking into it, but the investment (nearly $500,000,000) didn't justify after they just developed and released their line of 6-speed autos.

I'm very interested to see what happens here!

(The Turbo V6 thing doesn't surprise me, though...smaller engines are becoming more efficient AND more powerful...But that just means big engines are doing the same. )
