Do Some Engines Match Better with DCT?

Been thinking about this. Perhaps the best engine for a DTC is an electric motor.

No Lamborghinis had dual clutch transmissions in 2009.

I assumed it was dual clutch but a bit of research it turns out is was a single clutch transmission and offered 40% faster shifts than the manual.

I don't know, but I do know that some manuals suck. Many years ago I bought a G37 manual... having never driven the manual, but driven the automatic version many times and owned an EX35. Anyways.... I fucking HATED it! That's all I remember about that car. I actually got it at Carmax and returned it within the 7 days they give you. I think it was more the engine than the transmission itself... not sure it's been a while but I recall it being very sluggish to get the revs up.

More recently I also drove a manual Boxster 718 and the auto and honestly... I think the auto was better. :cry:

Pretty much mandatory to get in there and swap out bushings and shift lever heights to make the shifter "normal" on some cars, BMW included. My 2 series somehow got worse from my E90, it was one of the first mods.

Have something to add?
