Those ponies will be sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission using a dual-disc clutch that’s necessary to properly harness all those horses. There’s also a dual-mode exhaust system that alters the sound level and character in response to engine rpm." sounds like this is GM’s F-You to the 2011 5.0. ---

It makes since for this to replace it tho since the z28 was going to be “550 hp”. It didnt make since in history or in sales to have the Z28 a higher model then the SS. So, whats higher then the SS? The ZL1. Makes perfect since. ---

My single-disk held 643 ft lbs to the wheels perfectly fine. Assuming 20% drivetrain loss, that’s around 804 at the crank. you do realize that, that opens to doors to getting retarded power out of the stock drivetrain right? Just a pully swap and tune and that car will be over 600rwhp. I dont really see your point here? I have a Ram powergrip hd clutch and it doesnt skip a beat with my 630+rwtq. Its not if It can, or will…its How long. Hands down a twin disk will last much longer then a single in high power levels, will it not? ---
