I agree 100%

I think some of you are confused about what SMG is.

SMG stands for Sequential M Gearbox.

It is essentially a clutchless manual.

Doesn't this car have "automatic" mode? If so, then it does this without a torque converter? So this car is essentially the same as a Ferarri Testorossa (clutchless manual) but more advanced?

I've always wondered since this car is a manual stick shift transmission (with the +/-) gear toggles, how would you go from 6th gear down to 2nd gear? Tap down (4) times?

Is this SMG transmission really that badass?
