I was all excited and then he manually launched the car. Guy clearly has no idea what he is talking about. The 7 speed could not withstand 9000rpm — there are not rev limits on transmissions, there are torque limits.

Manuals have launch control which he obviously didn’t use. I can’t tell if he did the no lift shift as I watched video on my phone. You can keep your foot planted on the throttle and hit the clutch and grab the next gear. Makes for very fast up shifts when you don’t have to lift off of the gas to shift.

Exactly. If you are going to do a comparison, at least do it right. Not that it matters to me (my lifetime g-meter reads at .64 acceleration), but still. How do these people get these jobs and not do any actual diligence/research?

No, he specifically said he took TC off. He just brought the rpm up to 5k and dumped the clutch while modulating the throttle.

Give him a break. He assumed it was a real manual not whats in the gt3 touring

Why did he say it was hard and you had to modulate things? I thought the whole point was to plant your foot?

he was involved with driving the car, isn’t that the whole point of the manual to begin with?

Well, the pitch of the review, in part, was to see the acceleration difference between manual and PDK so if he did not use launch control then it is not really an accurate comparison. Maybe I am being to hard on the guy, but I like people who are precise and accurate and I have not seen a video which compares the 6MT to PDK in acceleration so I got all excited when I saw the headline and then was let down.

i wish autogefuhl would do one as they are the most detailed reviewers on YouTube in my humble opinion.
