Lets suppose you want instant power, with a manual you can anticipate
how long it takes to go from say 3rd to 2nd gear.
As you can also with modern autos.
About 1/5 of a second to change with a double clutch, unless you "catch
it out" e.g. it was in 3rd on the "odd half" and has 4th ready to go on
the "even half" but then you hoof it, so now it needs 2nd on the "even
half", so that makes it a bit slower.
Its not the time to change, its the time to *decide* to change...
