Has anyone seen the Mustang A10 gear spread and final axle ratio? Do you actually know it's better the the Camaro A8?

Indeed, which is why it's fortunate we don't launch our cars off idle.
While nothing is confirmed yet, with 7 non overdrive fwd gears in the 10 speed...I would assume the A10 combined with 3.55 gearing is going to be steeper than the current A6. The current combo has a final drive ratio of 14.8:1, which is fairly respectable....if the stock converter was matched a bit better.
In order for the 18GT to achieve sub 4 second 0-60 times, I would assume the A10 is shorter. Hell, the A10 in the ZL1 has a shorter first gear than the A8.
