The rally cars do computer controled rev matching don't they? atleats thats how I thought it worked. They should only use the clutch twice in a race once to start once to stop.

Do I think it's a good idea to have an auto tranny in an EVO? Yes
How is that?

It is NOT automatic transmission, it is a manual with electronics.
Tell me, the rally cars lose their hydraulic and do what? Change to maunal shift? GET A CLUE!

As to the point in case - it all depends on what your definition of automatic is. The original poster was not suggesting the standard auto that shifts for you, rather an auto that you shift yourself. Isn't that the same as the sequential gear boxes? If we're considering the lack of a torque convertor as being a manual then I guess I'm wrong. I'm fully aware about how rally cars operate - I was a fan while you were still in diapers.

It also shifts very fast so it doesn't take much. And as Secret Chimp said, they only need them to last one race.
