Physically impossible unless the DCT has been programmed to be very gentle
A good datalog would show this even as basic as speed vs time, or better showing all the processes going on during a shift
A DCT "shifting"...is simply the clutches swapping. The actual physical gearchange has already happened long before you request it. So automatically saves a lot of time.
A sequential box is power releasing, the actual gearchange in the box needs to happen which alone is going to take around 50ms, then power can re-engage. The entire process takes time.
A DCT change on the other hand, can easily be done in a lot less time. Just depends how aggressive you want that clutch transfer to be etc.
By comparison, my wonderful synchro H pattern.....is probably about 0.5s or more for a shift lol
