4L60E rocks the house. Ford cant compete with it unless pretty heavily built. Ride in a A4 Z28 or TA and you will see what I am talking about. 1st gear is like 3.06 and will take off MUCH harder than fords 2.47 or whatever and it shifts MUCH better. My friend ran 13.3@105 in his 98 Z28 A4 bone stock with 111K miles on it.

 

I believe that it is a excellent trans. But when you start moding, that thing is not long for this world. It is probably GM's most commonly rebuilt trans. I think Fords tranny are a bit more durable. But performance wise hats off to the 4L60E.

 

Ummmm...no. According to EVERY shop I have talked to, they see 3-4 times as many AOD/E's than 4L60E's. Most never see the 4L60E's. Performance AND durability the 4L60E owns the AOD/E series transmissions. They are not bullet proof at all, but at stock power levels you prolly wont cook one for a while unless you get her too hot. The AOD/E's tend to go out a lot easier, ESPECIALLY overdrive.

 

4L60E's are not know for lasting long after modifications. I would also believe that there are more stock Camaros than Mustangs for some reason. (LS1 vs base GT-come on..)
