And even those who did order might not get an official 2020 because of the strike pushing things back. Those towards the middle/end of the ordering might end up with a 2021 instead of a 2020. It depends on how far along things are by August/September when they switch over plants or something.
So does that mean that there will be 0 2020 Corvettes in a dealers inventory? Like they weren't able to order any for stock?

I found a company that does Euro DCT upgrades, but nothing really at the GT500 level of power/quarter mile times and speeds.

Interesting.

I'm assuming a high 8 isn't out of the question once the trans is figured out, but hopefully not at the expense of grenading the dct.

Looks like the drag pack made a hell of a difference. Went from a 9.5 car to a 9.1 car with 1.4 60 foots. It seems that they were smart and went with a bias ply set up too.

It is funny to hear stangmode constantly call his car bone stock. Its on a mickey or r888r, rear + passanger seat deletes, and a resonator delete mid pipe which has been proven to add a little hp. I mean its close to stock, but him constantly calling it bone stock is funny.
This is just a total guess, but I wonder if Ford put a little extra protection in the TCM and that is why even with stock cars we have seen a variance in times. Maybe a little over protective?

And that is funny he calls the car stock. That is not stock lol.
