depends which gearbox it is, if it is the C2 one it is actually slower than a human changing. | |

manual and sequential gearboxes are totally different, eg a C2 vtr with paddle shift is just a manual gearbox with some solonoids and crap that makes it change with a button, thats why they are pish. | |

Had a few vehicles with sequential boxes - My old F1 Kart, the MK Indy and the RS6! | |

i have driven both stick and paddle, and have to say that the paddle is amazing.... although the stick is a massive improvement over the stahdard box.... | |

If the scrap dealer next door gets a crashed C in with a easytronic box I'll rip it out and have a play :) | |

Talking of Sequential boxes.. Has anyone ever played around with the Corsa C 'tiptronic' box.. At a glance they look like a normal gearbox but with solenoids to control the clutch and shifting. I wonder how fast they can be made to shift up and down :D | |

holinger sequential box = £12k + not something i could afford thats for sure! The car im looking forward to seeing this year is the phase 2 Norris Designs 3 Door Evo, that too now has a holinger box, transverse mounted engine too :) thus 950bhp out of a 2.3 lol | |

I suppose its a bit like anything; use it enough, and it become second nature. | |

I've raced with a sequential stick shift and found it really easy (obviously), but i don't think i could get used to paddles that easily. | |

weird how the stick moves as he shifts with the paddles. | |
