it's faster than the DCT in the GTO by 0.01s i think

Agreed.

I don't know why people think dct is so desirable.

After a weekend with my gto, I certainly wouldn't want a different box, believe me!

The gearbox in the GTO is pretty clunky compared to the gearbox in the 458

It's not as smooth or as precise and you can see the progression in technology -- don't get me wrong, I wouldn't take a 458 over a GTO, but the Dual Clutch gearbox is far superior to the Single Clutch in the GTO

Guess we'll have to agree to differ. I find DCT boxes too efficient. I've tried them extensively in the 458, 911, and GTR. I think Lamborghini made the right call with the ISR shift in the Aventador, personally.
