Forgot to mention our most favorite topic; DCT vs. 6SPD!

DCT was fantastic, but I did miss knowing my gears by feel. This is the big drawback of DCT for me. Maybe when I get more used to the track, but I didn't have a lot of time to look down and figure out what gear I was in! Sometimes I was in too high a gear coming out of a turn or I downshifted into a near redline situation. I would never do that driving a 6SPD because I would just know what gear I was in, know the car speed and the general RPM range instantly. Now I have to look to remember what gear I'm in. Will have to practice glancing! HUD would be really useful in this regard.
