As well my sketches do not show SMG III vs. II, I only show SMG but my numbers indicate something like the minimum shift times for SMG III.

I still disagree with you on the other points as well. My x and y scales are likely not perfect and like enigma pointed out my acceleration post shift for DCT is very likely too high. These were just SKETCHES! That being said. I will bet that M-DCT at best will easily break 100 ms shift times. I won't bet on margins compared to SMG III as you wanted. Furthermore DCT can and almost for sure will phase the clutches to drastically reduce or eliminate the deceleration period. I will bet on drastically less deceleration than SMG (any variant) with the ability to not dip to negative as well.

Didn't know it was Enigma's Elise....wow...good shifting!

Hey if you put up sketches with a scales....you are inviting scruntiny.

Name your wager
