No way a human can come off gas depress clutch and move a lever than come off clutch and re-apply gas quicker than a mechanical blip of gears with no change in throttle.



Again, you're approach shifting as sequential "steps", like you're back in Driver's Ed with a government-issue Plymouth with 3-on-the-tree....

Properly done, a manual shift is just a "blip" as well...

Some of the better technologies certainly have narrowed-down the shift times to an extent impossible to match with human mechanics... But the differences are slight, and on the dragstrip would maybe account for .05-.10 second through 3 or 4 gear changes...

Trust me, the moment you start talking about shifting in terms of "depress clutch, then move lever, then....", you may as well be plowing dirt on a John Deere....
