Because it doesn't. It only fluid couples in 1st gear. 2-7 are solid connections with locking piston.

That's really interesting. I never looked that hard into the 7at operation....that explains part of the reason it runs like it does I guess

Yep, it's a true thing of beauty ...

I'm still shocked months later. My 6spd cars seem so slow just cruising around now. That is because you don't slam gears in traffic. You ease into them. With the S7 you just let it do it's thing, push the shifter, or pull a paddle and your gone without any stress or effort.

Its something called technology. Lol. These traditional parts are being designed to work harder and perform in the extreme. Things are changing bruh.

Either that or the 6MT is just inefficient

To the forum's surprise, it turns out that it is the elder Steve that is the troll.

Ok, cool. I didn't know it had full lock up after first gear. Pretty cool!

Thanks for the kind comment bruh. At least the 6MT can take forced induction without even breaking a sweat.

I wasn't attacking the 6MT so I don't know where the comparo came from??? But...Just so you know. GTM has kindly made aftermarket clutches that will allow our 7AT's up to a good 600rwhp. Granted its not stage4, 1000hp level. But its enough POWER to get sub 11 second quarters. Besides after 700hp the Z is not so streetable. But thanks for your up to date and knowledgeable reply.

So when the cameras come off, the mustang and the Porsche gang up on the Z and throw it off the desk. You sir are a Z hater
