How is it fiction (DCT>AT re performance) if virtually all supercars have DCTs...why not just have ATs and be done w it? Regrets some ppl have had prbs w repairing their faulty DCTs but that's not really the pt here. The power loss is definitely bigger for AT but dunno how severe. It's just common sense since there's no direct linkage and it goes through a tq converter, right?

As an aside, that's the stuff car makers annoyingly omit, who cares about having massive hp if the car weighs like 3 tons? Better to have power/wt figures and also power at the wheel instead of engine figures.
