Sure, but how much of that is attributable to the smoothness of the transmission versus the DCT? The actual interruption of power is very short in either case, it just lacks the forcefulness of the DCT.
And I shift at 7k to avoid the rev limiter slowing the shifts down.
The DCT definitely has more of sports car feel to it, but the ZF8 is no slouch either. |
The smoothness doesn't matter shifts aren't as snappy. I can 100% notice a different using the paddles vs a DCT even at lower revs. It's something that will be different for everyone. The ZF8 will never have the same quickness even though it good for a traditional automatic. Seeing how I can't shift at redline that's sort of a big problem since then there's a perceivable delay that makes it seem slow.
