New ZF-8 speed trans. Who's going first?

[56809]

Chrysler has made a contract with ZF to use the new 8 speed in all their RWD's and even a super version with a 900 lb-ft torque capability for the SRT cars and Cummins trucks.

Seeing as this transmission is going to become VERY common (already being used in the BMW 7 series, Porsche Cayenne, Audi etc etc)

Who's gonna be the first to retrofit one into their muscle car?

I'd be happy to get a 6HP into my car, much less a new 8HP. The 6HP that was in my BMW 330i shifted so fast and always seemed to know which gear to be in. The 6L80E in my G8 on the other hand, not in the same league. I might have to look into an 8HP just for kicks. I work at ZF. :-)
