    Bummer these haven't made it here yet...an "automatic" that kills anything else performance wise.

    That looks far superior for sure. The automatic in my 2016 Freightliner Cascadia on the other hand is garbage as far as I'm concerned.

    Eaton Fuller also has a "DCT" gearbox in the works for Class 8 but currently it is only available in lighter duty applications.

    But that wouldn't be fun to drive. And with my (very little) automatic experience, would make it even easier to speed.
