Based on the evidence that swamp has uncovered the whole lag after flicking the paddle is purely interest and has no real bearing on the performance of the car. Acceleration seems to be unbroken with DCT as all the manufactures have claimed and with surge there is a slight increase during that 200ms transition from one gear to the next, the only benefit with discovering to amount of lag at different levels is to learn why it's there at all.
We all know that SMGIII might quote a shift in 80ms but I doubt anyone believes that to be the case, I have read here that some reckon it's closer to 180ms which even using the none surge modes mean the DCT improves on this by up to 5~6 times. One can only imagine what difference it will bring to the likes of the M5/6, RS6 and other truly bonkers cars.
I will be interested to see how quick the shift can actually be after additional testing, is it truly possible that DSG and DCT actual shift in the often quotes 8ms. That's mind blowing.
