The dual clutch has a one major drawback....DOWNSHIFTS...They're slow as the its hard to bypass gears that have already been engaged
Whilstthis is a plus for upshifts ..it slows down quick downshifting.
So its SMG-III for now

Just for reference sake, at 200 mph you are covering a football field a second

Why O why AMG did you screw up the 63's gearing ... ?????????????????
hmmm have you seen a 55 vs 63 at high end beside 1/4 numbers?
have you raced an M up top? or a 63 up top?

IF yes then please share .... if not are you not just fueling the so called myths?
prove first speak later

Thats an amazing fact. Wow
Thanks
Puts it all into perspective now
SleeperX recalls seeing a flash go by him, at the time I thought he was joking!

Wish I had an outside helicopter shot like the producers of TopGear. Now that would be something !!!!
