Well, it may be 'lame' but there are F1's with CVT's right now. The rules won't allow it currently IIRC, but the drivers love it. Peak torque is ALWAYS on tap, not waiting for you to spool up the turbo or downshift.

CVT and/or a locomotive electric drive is the future. Hybrids already do it. Big trucks are experiementing with it. Trains have known for a loooooong time it's best.

Another possible option for you would be to install a Rekluse auto CLUTCH. You'll still have to shift, but no clutch pull. You'd have to find out if they ake one that would fit the GS though :dunno_white:
