Once the s65 reaches its peak hp it shifts lightning quick on a really really short gear ratio, keeping the rev's right where the power is. Now imagine that 4 times (4 gear shifts). those couple of seconds are the ones that count, those are the seconds where the M3 equipped with an s65 matched to a DCT will pull away from u. And the only way you can prevent that from happening is by overcoming your gear shifting and 6500 rpm shifts with massive amounts of HP, not torque, but HP. Torque will only get ur car moving faster, horsepower will make your car pull away, and u will need, by the crap loads.






i dont know about that from the words or Carrol Shelby ......
