But all of my fun cars have been manuals.
This time around, I thought it was time to try something different - a paddle-shift, high-tech DCT - and I've been really intrigued with the thought of exploring performance driving with one. But then I remember the joys of barreling into a turn on the edge of sanity, braking hard, blipping the throttle and uncorking the perfect, orgasmic, 3-2 downshift. Can you do that with a DCT?

If not at least you'll save on dry cleaning.
