Cars with DCT I had in the past: 09 M3 DCT and 13 M5 DCT.
Currently have a 16 DCT M5 CP and 18 M3 DCT CP. All miles combined in 10 years of my DCT experience are about 160,000 miles. My REALITY: Around town the DCT will shift immediately when using the paddles. Upshift or downshift happens now. The A10 not so much around town. Manual shifts are slower for upshift or downshifts. No big deal really. Where I had concerns was on roll runs. I had a 13 ZL1 A6 and that car took years to downshift in auto mode for roll runs. By the time the car downshifted the other car running you was in a different zip code. The DCTs cars on roll runs are gone into outer space from 70 mph to 140 plus mph. The A10 is at least equal to the DCT on roll runs or slightly better. All you do is tap the gas for PERFORMANCE SHIFT MODE to pop up ( nothing more than immediate skipped downshifts) and then mash the throttle. This car flies into the horizon. I am very happy with the A10 on the highway. It’s all I ever wanted in the GEN V and GEN VI. GM delivered!

So from your post above, does that mean your ZLE A10 "Rolls faster than my (your) F10 M5"??

Stock for stock I couldn’t tell. It’s seems tight. My wife who drives all of my cars and has experienced lots of roll runs and passes said that the ZL1 1LE A10 feels M5ish on the roll runs. I know I’m happy with the A10 and a few Chevy mods can end the discussion fast.

Feels about equal. Which is good because a tune and pulley would make it unequal. The ZL1 1LE A10 is definitely planted and gives confidence in the roll demo runs.

Lets get into manual mode, really on the throttle changing gears...up and down shifts. On the down shifts, any delay? hesitation? I would love to see this on the track. Im a driving Instructor for SCDA1.com and I would love to test this car from passenger stand point and drivers. What concerns me is possible overheating on the track when ran hard...but we shall see. Would be epic if you made a short video of Auto mode and Manual mode...wife recording you. Just a thought. |

I did not test the paddles under anger because I expected the full auto mode to deliver and be the fastest way forward from 70 mph to XXX MPH. A neat feature of the paddle manual mode is if you are on the highway at whatever speed in say in 8th gear and you hold the left paddle back the car instantly downshifts to the lowest gear possible. No multiple downshifts needed. I’ve never seen or heard of this feature in any car. I will consider a video.

This will never beat the quick stab to activate Performance Shift and then WOT. Never!

Having both the M6 and the A10. If you had to get rid of one of them today, which one would you keep? And why?

These are different cars. It’s all about what YOU intend to do with the car. The potential buyer must know what’s the purpose of this car. Both are awesome though.
