padgett Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 a) 8 speeds over and under is easy. Think if the AMC twin E stick was a four speed. What I don't understand is with modern 1800 to 6500 rpm at 90% of max torque is why 8 or 12 speeds ? b) I prefer what I can do with them (sig photo full size at the top of third) . 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably have to stop and rest my shoulder after #6. A dual clutch trans has no clutch pedal. Basically two concentric clutch packs with one linked to 1,3,5,7 and the other on 2,4,6,8. So it can do clutch to clutch shifts with no torque interupt, either manually (using paddles on the backside of the steering wheel) or just let it shift automatically. Shifts are accomplished in 100 milliseconds. 11 minutes ago, padgett said: What I don't understand is with modern 1800 to 6500 rpm at 90% of max torque is why 8 or 12 speeds ? The 8 speeds allow you to keep the engine in the range of peak efficiency or peak power for a longer period of time. It's a crazy fast and fun car to drive. 0-60 in 2.8 seconds and 1/4 mile in 11.2. A bit slower than a Tesla Model S but it sounds a hell of a lot better and corners like a slot car. The three really cool cars are mine, the Vette was on loan for a week or so but made for a fun photo. Scott 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John348 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 This is my son's 53 Chevy, (he is an AACA Member just does not participate on the site). The car has been in the family since new. Original except for the chrome my father had it done about 20 years ago. The fifth generation of the family to ride in the car is in the back seat. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
