Oh. Ok then.

Well, in any case, the McLaren would be a blast

I can't drive AT with paddles at full speed on the track. It's really sad lol

Diven both. My wife's car is an Audi S5 with a DCT. It is a lot of fun too.

My brother has a full sim setup and depending on the car it may be paddles, sequential or manual transmission. By far the fastest shifting is with the floppy ears followed the sequential and manual. All three are fun.

On the street I prefer to row my gears. I don't have any experience at the track with the other yet.

That is all I know for now.

Glad I TT my Z. No auto for me. DCT = Yes, I see no issues with that. Say NO to a SLUSH box. Just got out of my wife's Vette. At WOT, it will bang the gears, all the other times I absolutely hate it.

NecioVato · 08-14-2020, 01:08 PM

what doesn't make sense to me is if you are going to add a 6MT to the base and sport model but a DCT for the Nismo - why? Is it going to have such a power bump that the clutch in the base/sport won't be able to handle it? Is it strictly for 0-60 numbers? I just not sure why the DCT.
@Hotrodz - did the guy you spoke to tell you why a DCT only? Or was the DCT ONLY avail for a Nismo?

18 speed, with split shift 2 speed diff. Double clutching.

Everything after that is easy.

KCZ · 08-14-2020, 09:27 PM

So are the base and sport NOT going to come with an AT? That seems odd.

Pretty sure that meant base/sport will be available with both. NISMO only AT.

Ventruck · 08-16-2020, 05:48 PM

Wonder how good that Auto would be if that's all the Nismo is getting.

Also wondering if that mansmission has a nicer/smoother action than ours.

I'm sure it will be the same one in the Q50 and 60.
