"Drop the clutch and 10.9 seconds later you're doing 62 mph, and when the law and conditions permit (like, not the A41), the needle will climb to 121 mph. Dis will earn respec' from da punami, but not da filf."

ok here we go quoted from the Citreon Website:

quote:

The SensoDrive option means you can choose to drive how you want: fully automatic or manual. And with no clutch pedal, the split-second manual gear changes are faster than the most experienced driver.

maunal changing takes around 0.4-0.5s at a guess that probably does it in 0.1-0.2s

I doubt it, it probably takes that long to flick the paddle but I would imagine a certain amount of delay before the box changes, a la Smart.
