double clutching can only be done on a manual trans..... not an auto... and it feels like it makes u go faster but actually it just burns ur clutch faster and basically jus makes ur car jump for a split sec forward...

there seems to be some confusion about double clutching and a dual clutch transmission.

double clutch is a driving technique, a way of shifting a manual transmission that involved depressing and releasing the clutch twice when shifting
Double clutch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dual clutch is a type of manual transmission that utilizes two clutches to achieve very smooth shifts compared to regular automated manuals such as the BMW SMG(since replaced with a dual clutch design)
HowStuffWorks "How Dual-clutch Transmissions Work"
Twin-clutch gearbox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wow, all 7At vs 6MT thread always end up with lots of pages. It keeps me entertain while I am at work. Thanks guys.

From my observation, I think the younger generations are more bias about their manual transmission than the older one. If some older generations on this board who have been been driving manual all their lives still choose the 7AT over 6MT, then there is got to be a lot of improvement on the 7AT for them to pick that.

Please be open minded and get along.

It's the first traditional "slush bucket" tranny that actually has better acceleration than the manual in 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. I'm sure there may be others but I haven't seen any. Very impressive.

Look at the CTS-V, same deal. They borrowed the manual from the parts bin and designed the auto specifically for that car- making it the faster option (although, not as significant as the difference in the 370z).
