I’m telling u right now… If we go down, we’re taking everybody with us!

If you want to win a race, then get a DCT. It is faster and more capable than any one person with a Standard. You also spend more brain time worrying about the next turn than the next gear.

Even if some legendary race driver could shift a standard fast enough to beat another driver with a DCT equipped car of comparable performance, that does not mean you could. There is a reason why The best sports car makers in the world are steadily switching over to DCT/DSG transmissions.

When you want to win you use the best equipment.

I have yet to hear anyone complain that the GT-R35 has and only has a Dual Clutch Tranny and that it IS faster in full auto than manual. Or Porsche having their own DCT and that is faster than with their manuals. The list is getting longer. Many of the fastest production cars have DCTs or some other high performing Auto, at least, as an option.

Johnny’s question was “when did they start broadcasting in color?” If he’s referring to the way we see it today, so the answer is “1953 as established by the NTSC.” However, if you’re asking when a color TV was first invented, well, that was back in 1928.

At least he doesn’t call his own name and then look over his shoulder…

Are you sure?

As far as color transmission: John Logie Baird demonstrated the world’s first color transmission on July 3, 1928, using scanning discs at the transmitting and receiving ends with three spirals of apertures, each spiral with filters of a different primary color; and three light sources at the receiving end, with a commutator to alternate their illumination. Baird also made the world’s first color broadcast on February 4, 1938, sending a mechanically scanned 120-line image from Baird’s Crystal Palace studios to a projection screen at London’s Dominion Theatre. Cut & paste from Wikipedia.
I thought myself that Bell Labs was first, but:
Mechanically scanned color television was demonstrated by Bell Laboratories in June 1929 using three complete systems of photoelectric cells, amplifiers, glow-tubes, and color filters, with a series of mirrors to superimpose the red, green, and blue images into one full color image.

“You keep sticking to US “brads” [sic] because you are an idiot who doesn’t know how to use a period.”

Dude what is your problem? For the longest you got this thing for me WTF?

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM????????

yarddog82abn, Stop talking to yourself. It’s just weird.

I was about to say that this lawsuit makes no sense. Getrag didn’t have the money to finish building a plant in the US so CHRYSLER is going to suit the company for money to do what? Finish the factory?

It’s a mindless money grab and we all know it. I hate it when any company gets all desperate and stuff. They just do the danged stupidest things.

Maybe MERCEDES-BENZ or TOYOTA will step up. To cut costs on some models, it would make sense.

“It now plans to supply Ford with dual-clutch transmissions, but the company’s planned Mexican assembly plant will probably be able to provide the needed gearboxes.”

And I ask my self some time why do I keep sticking up for U.S. brads…
