They slip both clutches in higher gears to allow you to roll along with the engine at idle speed, presumably to prevent the clutch from heating up as quickly. Previously, there would only be one clutch slipping in 1st gear while you roll at 3mph, but I think it can now roll several times faster than that. The idea being it's more efficient to slip the clutch a little than to increase the revs from 700 to 1200 if you only need to maintain a slow speed. I haven't actually seen it in action, I imagine it only works up to whatever comes out to 3rd gear and 1200rpm with little throttle input.

I also believe there's gotta be some car out there using both clutches initially on a launch to reduce shock. The efficiency is still 0 when the car is stopped, but you get that extra kick of torque at the wheels with 2nd gear also transmitting torque, then you can disengage and rely on 1st gear alone once the tire is starting to slip.

Interesting, I’ll have to dig in to some MB documents and see how they’re doing things.

I was commenting more along the lines of both clutches actually applied, trans brake style. Maybe nothing? Just both spinning along happily? I would imagine an engine spinning at one rpm and a driveshaft spinning at one rpm can’t have two different transmission ratios in between. Something would give. Like I said, nothing I’ve seen before.


This guys thesis actually rounds things up nicely. Not a terrible read.

I'm talking 35-ish years ago.

Some LT2 factoids...

Interesting, the gains came mostly from exhaust and intake due to different packaging.

Some cams will really open that top end up then.

Some ITB's and nice trumpets/plenum would be amazing on a car like this. Especially now since there is so much more room for activities.

Harrop makes a kit. I think they could do some adaptation that works for the LT2 and works with the stock intake ports. I think this guy added the custom carbon fiber, so he could channel cool air to the ITB's, but it does come with something:

Something vertical like this McLaren F1 BMW engine would be necessary:

So you don't think the LT2 is maxed out?


Cam.

Forced induction to the rescue...Z06 or ZR1

I don't know how much more room there is for large cams without risking piston to head contact or ruining the streetability of the car. The LT2 is probably not maxed out. Cams, porting, etc will net much more. Plus there is E85 for more cheap NA power.

I'm double posting in two threads. Have we seen these two side by side?

Super annoying most of the time, but he is surprisingly good at manipulating the camera in his hand for transition effects.
