It was previously speculated that the Corvette's DCT would either be the PDK 8 speed used in the Porsche 918 or it would share the Tremec 7 speed with the Ford GT500. It turns out it's neither, as the transmission is made by Tremec but is an eight speed. According to Tadge the first gear is steep to improve acceleration, gears 2-6 are very close ratio for track performance and gears 7 and 8 are for cruising and economy.
