I wondee why won't more cars have sequential gearbox. It's so neat on motorbikes.


My understanding is that race cars with sequential shifting mostly use dog gearboxes, and having a gearbox that you slam into gear would probably not be very comfortable for the car's occupants vs a gearbox with synchromesh.
