The Ferrari, on the other hand, uses a DCT (dual clutch transmission). Where it's core is a manual-style transmission, but it's automated when you want it to be. howstuffworks.com has a real great intro on it. There's just too much to it for my poor little fingers to type out here  |
I think the paddles would be awesome, especially for me if I wanted to shift instead of it auto shifting

This one could have it, but someone will quickly sell the sse.
