Why do you appear to be so defensive about an automatic transmission in a sports car such as the one you own? Besides Magna is Canadian shouldn't I be proud? Just want to point out that this Zupra is pretty much a BMW. It is what it is. Last edited by krayzie; 02-06-2019 at 04:28 PM. |

DSGs are great but I would never own another one. Too many issues overtime. And I grew up driving mostly 4 speed automatics to the point I want them to bring it back. It looks like the LC500h is the ticket once I can afford it. |

The 2% of the population that will shift manually will not be aiming for mileage nor emissions goals tough.

Speaking of which, I was really looking at buying the "Yamaha" generator that was assembled in China at my local Costco.

Everybody is of course free to like what they want. But, I am an engineer, and it irritates when such an advanced mechanical design is called just a "slushbox". Demon and Redeye are only available with these transmissions with 800 HP. They make 0-60 in 2.5 sec and some people here claim these transmissions slip! Yeah right The only slipping transmission I know is mt of boosted 86. |

I'm confused, are you saying you can't do that? I do that with my AT all the time, even when not driving in manual. I've even done a triple a couple of times.
