ESS VT-625 Vs M5 F10 and Mercedes SL Black series
I was participating in a GT Board event a couple of weeks ago, the m3 were performing really well.
In the beginning of the day I had a top speed of 280-290 in the end of the track, in the afternoon I actually was able to get over 300 a copula of times. VS SL Black Series

I'm guessing the black series had a double clutch transmission. He was catching you up on each gear change. Great videos. Looks like you had a great time.

NICE runs. I'm impressed with the ESS VT625 vs. that V12 biturbo BEAST.

Both cars would've got walked hard if the OP was driving a DCT. Black series was catching up with every gear change. And no this isn't a bash a manual comment......it's a fact.....................Phil

Of course you will gain a couple of meters in similar cars with equally skilled drivers But far more important is power and good tires, for example i raced another Vt 625 manual at the event with street tires ( i have toyo 888) i did beat him with 5-8 cls. People are investing a lot of money in superchargers ant then they can’t use the power because they don`t invest in proper R-tires. I think it is necessary with sticky tires at this power levels..

DCT is a huge advantage, there's no opinon on it, it's FACT, not unlike the Turbo S PDK vs. 6MT, do you think the GTR would be as fast as it is with a 6MT? There's a few runs here and there where we see a 6MT do very well against a DCT, but it's no secret that in every performance outcome, 60-130, 1/4 mile, and most sbs racing vids, DCT is ahead and by a large margin in some of those results. Regardless excellent job, your car is moving very well.

Per I've owned two MT's and I shift in 0.6 sec's ( not power shifting ) and now own a DCT and let me tell you that they are worlds apart , equally power equipped M's one being MT and the other DCT the dct will out run the Mt by a good 2-4 car lengths period ! The DCT shifts in 0.30 millisecond's which also gains 1k -1,300k in up shifts which will net you 50-70whp advantage through each gear so you can see how the DCT is faster ...
But great runs on your part nonetheless Cheers |
