And, in answer to the hopefully sarcastic post above, the ZCP does not add HP or torque relative to the non-ZCP M3.

This is called the placebo effect. No difference in the motor or weight so it is not faster. It probably just feels that way because the shifts are faster.

Steering probably feels 'tighter' because of the small drop and because the car is new. New suspension components, bushings, etc.

We should just turn this one into another 6MT vs DTC. BTW, The DCT is WAY faster than 6MT
