Ye and smg was considered a bad tranny for its engagements were too slow and irresponsive on track use (Ive had it, manual is better) Dont get it confused I never said I liked smg, one is a compromised manual and the other is a pinnacle of fast shifting technology. |
The new zf transmissions shift just as fast and can down sift a while lot quicker since you dont actually have to go gear by gear. Don't get me wrong I love a dct as much as anyone, but their cost and performance advantages are dissappearing as these zf transmissions become quicker and more efficient.
