Holy fuck @ downshifting through 6 gears in 1.2 seconds.
I know it downshifts super fast but this just amazed me once again hearing numbers.

I wish I could do that. lol

^ And it's a shame that Super Aguri had to bow out due to lack of money. Even with all the used shit their cars had, and despite being under-funded, they still had the ability to beat the fuck out of Force India/Spyker/Midland every race when Aguri still existed, and their cars had all-new shit.

It's amazing how fast these F1 cars can shift... this brings up the question whether the DSG gearbox is really for losers who can't drive stick or for those who want to achieve better performance.

Both.
Mostly for dumb fucks who can't drive sticks and use it as an excuse and say it's "faster" to cover up their lack of man-hood because they cannot power a clutch manually.

Either that or for people who drove stick before and got tired of it. Then I'm fine with that, but not fine with the first statement I made.
