CAMARO6 - View Single Post - 2018 Mustang to get 10-speed auto? Camaro to follow suit?

I said it a while ago, but an 8+ speed (we all knew it would be the 10 speed though) would help the auto Mustang a lot in its straight line performance, but I don't believe it will be enough to make the playing field even. That said, I'm betting it will close the gap quite a bit.

But yeah...its only a matter of time before the Camaro SS gets a 10 speed as well. Then the Camaro may pick up another 10th or two and the gap widens again. Mustang will need more power or less weight, or both to catch the Camaro in this generation.
