I've never bought a new car since I'm 18, but the last 6 cars my parents bought new were manual.

Reminder: you don't have the right to bitch about the lack of manual transmissions in modern cars if you have never...

Is a dct any good for a project car? Not that I'm swimming in money, but if I buy a new car, auto with paddle shifters, will it be any fun to put parts into? I'm pretty new to cars in general.
Also retarded question incoming. Is it possible to drift in a dct? Pls no bully

I'm just pissed that companies are not even offering manuals gearboxes on higher end cars. I get it that a high performance automatic transmission is faster than a manual, but would it hurt companies to offer both options? DCT is not a substitute for manual.

nope, will just create a separate market for it
t. supply and demand

Well I don't usually think of a new car as a "project". It will be expensive and hard to do much work on the transmission because it's all computer controlled. Also, auto with paddles =/= dct. It could still be fun to drive though, that's determined by a lot more than just the transmission.
As for drifting, yes it's possible. You just wont be able to use some of the techniques like clutch kick and shift lock, because the transmission will always want to rev match. You can still use power over and anything to do with weight transfer just fine. It might just be a little more difficult to learn on. A lot of professional drift cars use sequential manual transmissions, so it's definitely possible.
