with all this talk of double clutching and after watching "the making of
LeMans" last night it reminded me of the best sound of a car/trans
being double clutched. It is of Steve McQueen in the movie Bullit
driving his Mustang as he chases the bad guys in a black Charger. You
can hear the engine note as the double clutch is performed on the
upshifts and see the car take a set as he does it (and you see a little
tell tale blue smoke out the dual exhausts)
Rent it if you havent seen it and turn the volume waaaay up.
enjoy
Sorry for no alfa content
