In Car & Driver's Road Test Digest, they have a 6MT doing 4.1 secs and 12.6 in the 1/4 on May of 08. On Feb of 2009, they had a DCT do an identical time of 4.1 and 12.6. I see no advantage of DCT over 6MT or vice versa. Although harder to achieve said times in 6MT, I find that it's part of the fun of learning to launch your car properly.

Another DCT / 6MT debate.... I think they both have their merits. As far as which one is quicker, I would be willing to bet that the DCT car would win 9x's out of 10 in a side-by-side drag race. It's easy to screw up the launch in a 6MT. I just sold my 6MT M3 after 4 years and am eagerly awaiting my new DCT. I fell in love with Dual Clutch transmissions after driving the GTR and Porsche's PDK transmission (wife's car is a PDK Cayman S).

R&T got a 13.0s quarter with the M3 Sedan 6 MT in a California test a few months later. It was the only car that couldn't crack the 13s mark (against the C63, RS4, and ISF) here's the link: http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-revi...dan-comparison Last edited by mdosu; 01-25-2013 at 03:01 PM.. |

Yeah, that US test was weird, didn't realize there was a potential instrumentation issue w/ the germany tests. My understanding is that there was some belief (not sure there is any corroboration on this other than someone on these boards mentioning) that the testing temps in Germany were low (SAE correction may not fully negate) and there was a greater difference at the time between Euro and US software at that time. The C&D and R&T tests for those MTs in germany were some of the fastest times w/ any transmission. Also, given the MT is very tempermental to launch, might have also been a few situations of great launches where the higher torque in 1st gear may have helped if there was perfect traction.
