Really? so the writer is claiming the automatic transmission is better than manual to handle high power and torque? I always thought it is the manual transmission can handle stress better ?
Yeah, this point is bs. Supercars are all dct. You're telling me they all have low torque numbers? And my 335i has a 1000hp clutch. Not much different feeling than stock. Z06 has them, zl1, etc. Same argument. This point is bull. Does BMW plan over 1000hp motors?
