I sorta see what you’re saying, but it’s not really a pussy transmission… You’re probably confused with the automatics that have paddle shifters to make people feel good about themselves. This is an actual manual transmission, just sequential, with no clutch pedal. There are two clutches, one for odd, one for even gears, and it pre-engages the next gear for you, to give you better shift times. Then when you’re down shifting, it blips the throttle for you to give you a perfect rev-match. Can you rev-match perfectly? I can do a really good job of it, but there are quite a few times where I’ll blip the throttle a bit more than is needed and screw it up. F1 drivers use this system, so I figure, if it’s good enough for them, it should be good enough for me.

I know what it is, and it’s not a manual transmission, it’s an automated manunal transmission.

On a street driven car, I don’t care about 0.000000000000000001 second gear changes and perfect rev matching and slick steering wheel paddles. On a street car I want fun and no clutch pedal = no fun.

This is like the M3 with the SMG tranny. It was suppose to be this amazing transmission with lightining fast gear changes and all that crap, what happened? Everyone who knew how to drive standard went out and bought a manual M3 and all the poser pussies went out and bought the SMG and complained about how the automatic mode was rough and clumsy.

Like some guy said on another forum, I don’t want a car that knows how to drive better then I can.
