With all the automatic clutch systems available, I’d still rather have a manual also. I just like shifting myself. I’d shift the gears with the triggers for like a day and then probably get bored and put it in automatic :(. ---

> [@reliant\_turbo](#): > > which one was that. sounds cool. production piece? > > Brian Not production but close. The 016 was used in the orginal GrpB cars but then they went to a stronger box later on. Kind of expensive though. Could’ve made it a production box but there wasn’t a need. Similar to the 016 but straight cut gears and an added oil pump and an extra gear in this one. They did make it in a 5spd verison too which was nearly an 016. ---

> [@walter](#): > > Oh, and I love all the morans saying “OMG ID NEVER GIVE UP MY STICK” who have never spent any time driving the laternative in question. I love the morons who can’t drive a true manual so they automatically jump on the “DSG is so amazing” bandwagon. “It’s just like shifting in Gran Turismo, which coincidentally is the only time I’ve ever been on a track.” And yes, I’ve spent enough time in a DSG M3 that I can say I’ve driven the “laternative in question” 😉 If I’m going to race around a track and if I have the best lap time I win money, I’m taking the DSG every time. It’s faster, easier, a technological marvel and capable of doing things that are simply impossible to do with a traditional manual regardless of skill level. If I’m going to race around a track or the street for fun, traditional manual FTW. And which do 99.99999% of the people buying these cars do? ---

> [@JayS](#): > > And yes, I’ve spent enough time in a DSG M3 that I can say I’ve driven the “laternative in question” 😉 Considering DSG isnt in the M3, your opinion is highly misinformed. Drive DSG. And I can drive a proper manual quite well and I still love DSG. I do HATE BMW’s SMG though. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-rs6/34858.md?page=3)
