They must be pretty slow when changing gears, cos when you think about it, there is bugger all time difference between an auto gear shift and a fast manual one.

The ideal gear box would be a hybrid manual and automatic in one.One where you can dump a clutch and let it go the rest of the way in auto mode.Of course you can hold the revs on this box however you feel
I think thats what SMG is all about, a clutch controled by an electronic brain. But **** having a computer doing it all for me(I think it double clutches/rev matching on downshift too, no skill involved whatsoever). You can tell who the posers/women/fags are that buy BMW M3s, they all have the SMG ones, as opposed to the true 3 pedal manual (CSL excluded).
