I've driven a scat pack with the 8 speed and it seemed like a really nice transmission. I don't see why people think the 10 speed will be so much better than Dodge's 8 speed that it will give the ZL1 a huge advantage at the strip. The auto should lose some horsepower compared to the M6 as well. My opinion is that the Auto Hellcat and Auto ZL1 will be very close on the straights. Where the 10 speed will shine is on the track. That's what GM engineered it for, not the strip.
