I concede that the 'other tranny' will likely be faster around a road course. I'm in this for other reasons.
Good thread, btw.

It is not about how the tranny shifts but about 6 gears versus 7 gears. The new M3 engine isn't spitting out gobs of torque so to extract max benefit, you need more gears and take advantage of the revs.....
If M3 came out with a manual 7 speed, this would be good.....but alot of rowing.
