The A8 transmission in the C7 Z06

how tough is the A8 transmission in the C7 Z06 compared to a 4L80E transmission?

what it is called? 8L90E?

Not too much information on that yet, but it's gotta have some strength as it's sitting behind a roots supercharger in car that weighs a good bit at 3500lbs.

I would imagine it's a bit of a step up from the 6L90E in the ZL1/CTSV which is pretty stout to handle that kind of power and weight.

Good read:

It is the 8L90E. Has to be beefy with sport cup tires and 650tq and 3500+lb. 100k miles beefy. But how much headroom is the question.

Imagine the $ once these truck versions trickle down to the salvage yards.
