2nd garage queen anyone

I dont see why they would not be the same really, i was quite impressed with how quick the GS changes cogs, especially in sport mode, not sure why so many journo's slated the gearbox.

Aren't CC/F1 just different names for the same thing?

Spot on Ian , cambiocorsa and i hope Enzo backs me up is Italian for fast or quick change , all the working components are the same just the software that operates them is different as i understand it

Because, like Clarkson, a lot of them were t0ssers who didn't know how to use them properly. The CC still benefits from DBW which speeds them up even more.

I thought they were the same but I wasn't 100% sure, but thanks for confirming it Loz. And Enzo!

GS change is a pretty slow change to be honest....There is a long throw on the paddle and it doesn't seem to engage that quick.....Its not bad but just going on others paddles I've driven...Its a lazy change rather than an agressive change.....Noting wrong with that mind just my views after driving a number of GS and 4200.....Mind you the GS was a better than the 4200 change.

I found when the GS was in sport, it changed pretty violently.

Keeping your foot to the floor and changing up , can be quite (violent )as you put it Adam, but thats not the best way to achieve the fastest and smoothest results , there is a very progressive way of changing gear by slight right foot manipulation coupled with the correct timing when changing gear , believe me there's a vast difference

You've driven a GS!??

Personally, I like it. I uded to have the SMG2 in my M3 and lked the fact you could adjust it. My GS does feel a little lazy, but I reckon (digging the memory banks here) that non-sport is like 2 on SMG, sport is more like 4. SMG in 5 or even the hidden 6th setting was pretty violent! Great though, when you were in the mood.

Ah the person who took me out must have kept their foot to the firewall then.
