I have a question though--on your pdf, it states that the top gear with the DCT is 1.000 when 6th is 1.203.
Is this a typo?
I'm also surprised that the DCT doesn't have an overdrive.  |
I got my ratios from page 16 of the attached document. On page 17 it states that the MT6 will accelerate 0-100km/h in 4.8sec while the DCT does it in only 4.6sec. Now this might be simple because of the faster shifts, but I would also suspect having a lower 2nd gear helps sling the car to 100km/h a bit faster. 3rd probably would not come into play as the car will easily do 100km/h in second.
