there seems to be some confusion about double clutching and a dual clutch transmission.

double clutch is a driving technique, a way of shifting a manual transmission that involved depressing and releasing the clutch twice when shifting
Double clutch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dual clutch is a type of manual transmission that utilizes two clutches to achieve very smooth shifts compared to regular automated manuals such as the BMW SMG(since replaced with a dual clutch design)
HowStuffWorks "How Dual-clutch Transmissions Work"
Twin-clutch gearbox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Even I know better than that. LOL

7AT or 6MT, it's all good (even though the 7AT has the 6MT beat by a couple of tenths, then again, what it 2/10ths... silly)

2/10ths is everything on the dragstrip...

but that's besides the point we're making right now

My 7AT is sooooooo much fun to drive. All I had to do was drive both and was instantly sold after making the comparison. Paddle shifting is much faster than throwing that manual shift. When someone says why did you ever buy a sports car with an automatic trans. I say..........What's good enough for Formula 1 racing is good enough for me.......End of conversation.
