Yeah, the car just doesn't set up well for a manual. As with most turbos ... you really need to keep it on boil. The other issue is that you have to keep BOTH arms on the steering wheel. The car can get twitchy and requires most of your attention.
I've had manuals for EVERY previous sport car I've ever owned including an R8 V10. I can assure you ... this DCT is not bad. Again .... I hate those super smooth DCTs. This one is rough. Just the way I like it. Race car rough. On full boil .... the shifts are fast. Very fast. I don't miss the manual at all.
