Evo X

[noisia]

old boy wants a new car, im barking up the evo tree and doing some research on which gearbox will be better, h pattern or twin clutch SST

question is, will the SST handle big power in the future??

have people had experiences with producing big horsepower through a semi-automatic (whatever u wanna call it) gearbox???

H pattern.

If you're buying an Evo, clearly you don't care about tactile feedback and "driver response".

SST is quicker. End of story.

People have managed to strengthen up manuals and autos. Considering the SST is manual friction plates with an electrohydraulic actuator, its not that radically different.

The tech is still pretty new and started out in ultra-expensive cars, so not that many people have been working on it. If you want something now, its not going to happen.

The Veyron's dual-clutch transmissions proves that there's nothing limiting in the technology to handle big power, as long as engineers are willing to invest time and money into learning how to work with this new tech.

yeah im heading towards SST but the old boy is used to his dinosaur h-pattern. lol. then again he's also over the h-pattern and wouldnt mind a car that can be chucked in drive and away he goes.

cheers for ur help

Have you considered a IX or VIII?

I'd recommend that you go on the evo forums and ask the guys over there. They would know better than people on a Skylines forum.

I've driven both and I'm a DSG fanboy - but the SST is a sucky version! The EMO X is about the only DSG optioned car I'd choose the H over with.
