Re: Why exactly do you need to double-clutch?

Doing 25mph, in second, light's still red, turns green, want to go hard, so need to downshift to first. A synchro will take a really long time to do that, whereas a double-clutch in that case makes it quite snappy. That is, if the rise in revs was a bit more prompt!
I did my "test" again, and what's even sillier is that it's all really just a lag problem: when I stomped my foot on the gas pedal, the revs didn't rise until *after* the gas pedal had completely released -- it's that slow!
