It was stated time and time again the details of the PDK times and why they word it the way they do.
Anyone who has driven both a PDK and A8 equipped cars knows what's true, and what is complete BS.

Post count means absolutely nothing.
I guess you didn't comprehend the part of my post that states I'm a 2016 Camaro SS and Corvette owner.

No one wants the A10 to be a PDK competitor more than me.
But, the same type of lies being repeated by GM does not give me a hopeful feeling.

But, what lies have they told? GM stated that the A8 upshift time was faster than a PDK in automatic mode. I have never seen or heard a rep of GM saying anything more than that statement. Have I missed the big lie, and been drinking too much of their Kool Aid to see it?

The question about Nurburgring came up. One person asked specifically. Did it beat the GTR? Huge pause...........

Didn't say yes didn't say no. He did say if we give you all the information there's no surprise so we give you a little bit at a time.

I really thought they would announce Nurburgring, maybe the Z28, something!

There hasn't been any huge unveiling but the trip enabled us to see the car up close, sit in it, hear it, plus the tour was awesome and we got a few more pieces of info confirmed along the way.

Post count absolutely means something when your first post is a diatribe calling GM execs liars and boasting how you're going to call them all out to their faces.

Your post was nothing more than antagonistic nonsense indicative of trolling.

So, yes. I gave it little merit

Also to compare the A10 which has a torque converter to an F1 car's gear box is beyond laughable. I'm sure the A10 will be better than the A8 but I'm pretty sure we all agree the A8 didn't come close to the PDK like Al said it would so I wouldn't buy everything he says about the A10 either.
There always has to be someone.

It being co-developed is common knowledge and no one is hiding it. They're proud if it, stop trying to disect everything.

I think there a couple folks here who just find being argumentative to be such a joy. Al said with an electronic switch it would FEEL like an F1 car. He at no pointy said it would SHIFT like one. And when we start babbling about PDK, DCT, or the yet to be released A10 it's all semantics. One upshifts faster, the other downshifts faster...I'm just happy that an American automaker is taking to the big leagues for tens of thousands less! Top tier performance at middle American value is always a good thing!

I'm no expert at PDK or F1. But these shifts sound pretty quick and crisp.

Based on what the zf transmissions can do, i have no doubt this tans can be as good/quick as a dual clutch. Or at least the differences would be so minimal nobody could really notice a difference.
