Is there any practical limit of how much power can a driver handle with manual?

>>28478887 (OP)
a driver, no
a car, also no with correct transmission

>>28478898
A handle? Also no depending on the handle

>>28478898

>yanking levers back
>its actually just yanking levers so they called it a yanko
>some lunatic racers just put pneumatic actuators on the levers to automatically shift
I'm not OP but I'm assuming he meant syncro'd h-pattern. Even non syncro'd dogboxes I think those engines are taking 3000 horsepower.

>>28478898
So why do crazy builds like 1200 hp Mustang or 2600 hp Viper tend to have dual clutch?

>>28478911
dual clutch is near instant shifts, no worring about a clutch/needing skill to maneuver slowly, no need for a either a massively stiff clutch pedal or a clutch pedal with no feel

if you are going to spend 6 figures on modding a car, you generally don't settle for good enough

>>28478887 (OP)
It depends on the tires.

>>28478887 (OP)
The gearbox transmits torque , not power .

>>28478911
Turbo build doesn't lose boost during shifts

>>28479019
>>28478916
Wrong.
>>28478911
Its for faster shift times for going around a circuit track and eliminates mis-shifts. Thats the entire reason. Dual clutch has less to do with it than you think for holding power. Dual clutch is basically initiating the next upshift faster.

dual clutches aren't the "best" at holding big power but you're also not seeing those insane power numbers going around a track that often.

Maybe I'm dumb and just noticed
>power can a DRIVER handle with a manual
Basically it depends on the application and the skill level of the driver. Can a driver shift an H-pattern with 5000 horsepower around a circuit? Uhh, sure?

>>28478911
Nustangs because of the GT500 coming with a dual clutch, but most builds either swap out the MT82 for a built TR56M/TR6060 or build the 10R80 to hold the power.
Anyone running a 2000+HP viper is either running a dogbox 6 speed or a sequential, not a dual clutch. Afaik no one even makes a kit to put a dual clutch in a viper.

In the 80s, the turbo F1 cars were manual, and in qualifying trim had over 1500BHP.

...but also, do you think the power is directly transmitted through the driver's wrist in a manual or something? What a retarded question.

Bad example, F1 cars also have less torque than a rotary.

>>28480139
Torque is a momentary force. Anything that actually gets to the wheels is a measure of work, aka power, aka horsepower. They were also geared to the fucking moon because of how high they revved.

>>28480140
Except 1500 horsepower F1 cars never broke drivetrain parts like 1500 horsepower Diesel trucks do.

We're discussing limitations on transmissions, not whatever the fuck it is you think you're talking about.

Many ITT didn't so I think you're doing alright, Anon.

Yes, there is a limit to how much you can reliably moderate the power with a clutch pedal. I'm sure you could handle high power with the right coordination, but the more HP you have, the more likely you are to burn out the clutch or do unintended burnouts on the daily.
There's a reason why drag cars use slushboxes over manual and DCT

>>28480149

quali tuned engines lasted about 1 lap

Depends on the drivers T levels, nu-males can only handle like 150 crank up

Yea it has nothing to do with the bullshit you mentioned, wrenchlet

>>28480726
Let me know when you figure out how to launch 1,500 hp on a clutch without cooking it

>>28482745
bro shut the fuck up you dumbass wrenchlet faggot, nu-male
