You can brake torque which probably as equally bad as popping the clutch.
You can't on the DSG... It will cut the throttle if you are on the gas at the same time as the brake. That's what you have launch control for.

Why did you go one way or the other. For tuning purposes? Can't drive stick? Etc. I've driven both and prefer the manual over the dsg. I found the dsg to be boring unless your wailing on the throttle. To me up shifts felt slow, probably cause I was waiting for the gear change instead of doing it. It's by far one of the best auto's I've driven, but it creates a huge disconnect for me and the car.
I went manual because I like to shift, the other day I was eating a charger r/t, my wife said “ that was a smooth 2/3 shift” something a dsg driver will never hear. You can be faster all day long, there is no style points to be had on shifting with paddles.
I gave a stranger a ride home one night in my TDI when they were stranded at a CVS in my hometown and they remarked at some point that they hadn't realized it was a manual until they noticed me shifting. I'll remember that forever.Hehe I too have had a girl compliment me "wow I didn't even feel that shift"
I've been fortunate enough to own 4 cars since I was able to drive on my own at 17...all 4 have been manual and all future cars I buy will be manual until I don't have a choice (I hope that day doesn't come for a long time)... I fly planes as a hobby and I actually have found that a lot of pilots drive manuals. When I ask why, the number one answer I get is "I need to be in control", which is exactly what I would respond if I were to be asked why a manual
MT driver here, but that is a cool way to do it. Mud likes!You can...
foot off the gas, left foot on brake, then put the gas back on. If youre on the gas and then brake it cuts throttle.
All about the order you do it.
And yet pilots have happily surrendered control to autopilot for decades.
Even in small single engine prop aircraft.
Today's airliners even surrender control to landing.
