Did not know that they are using this trans in the Ford GT350 also. So is this a better trans than the one they are using for the V8 in the Gen 6??

The TR6060 is a much stronger transmission. Thats why its used in cars with 600+ hp while the TR3160 generally isn't used in cars with more than low 300s. The 3160 is a bit lighter, and thats probably why Ford used it for the GT350.

Yes sir. The TR6060 is a very beefy tranny and used predominantly in the Camaro and Vettes.

The driveline chatter, the notchiness is pretty insane. Took me a bit to get used to it but in all honesty, I like the notchiness a lot. Feels badass..

They said they used the TR-3160 in the GT350 because its lighter. Go figure

The TR3160 probably takes to high rpm shifting better. I'm not sure if the TR6060 has even ever been mated to a high revving engine in a stock application.
