Normally it shifts near instantly, so it's probably faster than the manual. I didn't drive the manual version though so I can't say for sure, but the TC-SST shifts very fast (as long as you just don't stress it around a racetrack for 10 laps, as you've seen :p).
Not really sure. I'd say the TC-SST wasn't actually designed for the racetrack because the race-spec Evo X Mitsubishi sells in Japan actually comes with the five speed manual, not the TC-SST. I've also heard of problems with dual clutch gearboxes in other cars when they're stressed on the racetrack, so I guess they're just not ready for that kind of work (or they're not built for it, not sure which).
Yeah true, GTR comes with one of those boxes too, but obviously Nissan's made sure that twin clutch gearbox works in any racetrack condition. I don't think Mitsubishi made the same effort Nissan did when designing their gearbox...
ok man THENKS for your time and help

is it for race track or maybe mauntaine roads
in any way i see the best Gearbox: Twin Clutch now is on GTR R35
