minus-squareDonjuanme@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·4 days agoIf you can’t shift gears faster than 120ms you’re inferior to the automatic already. You think f1 drivers are fucking around with a clutch? Get off your horse and realize everyone and their half siblings have moved on. This is from a crusty guy who taught many a fine lady how to drive the ol stick shift. That was such a great pickup line.

minus-squareOnomatopoeia@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·4 days agoI don’t see where that was stated at all, just automatic. And DCTs are definitely automatics. There are other forms of automatic besides torque-converter based systems, even in the 50’s.

minus-squareJamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoTry buying a cheap used car with a DCT. Most are CVTs or old school regular autos (which are both apparently slow). But if you can get one for a normal price, it’s kinda fine if you value convenience over control. But I’ll probably not try an auto until my old golf dies.
