Quotes:
* "This is the car you want at the track, the street..."
* "We pushed ourselves (beyond what we did with previous ZL1's)"
* "I'm proud to be the first car to introduce GM's new 10 speed auto"
* "This isn't an 8-speed with two more gears. Its all new, and software controlled, faster shift times (equivalent to or better than an F1 car), and phenomenal"
* "We are the first users (of the 10A) not dictated by our production, but by when its ready"
* "This GM 10-speed will be talked about in 50 years"

"This GM 10-speed" is not a GM only product. It was co-developed with Ford. I'm pretty sure they introduced it in the Raptor. So I suppose it is the first "car" with it but seems pretty silly that he's trying to claim it as solely theirs.
Also to compare the A10 which has a torque converter to an F1 car's gear box is beyond laughable. I'm sure the A10 will be better than the A8 but I'm pretty sure we all agree the A8 didn't come close to the PDK like Al said it would so I wouldn't buy everything he says about the A10 either.
