These are fastest 60-130's on record for a "normal" (non nitrous, non built-motor) supercharged E9x M3:
DCT: 6.46 seconds
6MT: 7.52 seconds
Difference: 1.06 seconds
CarTest (physics based automotive simulator) gives the following results for the same car, same supercharger kit, same road conditions based on actual dyno charts. The only difference is DCT vs. 6MT.
CarTest DCT: 7.06 seconds
CarTest 6MT: 8.25 seconds
Difference: 1.19 seconds.
You can see CarTest matches real world results pretty well. Most people would consider 1+ second difference quite significant.
