The DCT is incredible. Can't wait to drive one! Did I read somewhere that if you keep the left paddle held under braking the DCT will downshift through the gears at optimum revs? Or is this my imagination?

"Hold the left paddle approaching a corner and the crackling downshifts come automatically and rapid-fire."
