No issues with track days including close to 100 summer at Summit Point.
Love the transmission, would never go back to a manual (yes it's that good). |

Update from Chuckwalla: ran session #5 by shifting less and, despite being about 5F hotter than the morning, temp gauge stayed at 255F. But, lap time was slower by around 1.5 sec

Seriously, GET A LARGER ENGINE OIL COOLER!!! -so you can track your car without overheating the oil temps. |

Agree big time. My M24 oil cooler has dropped my oil temps on the track by 30F. The DCT has its own smaller cooler, but I haven't noticed any issues with mine, but I am not driving in the desert

I think DCT cars run hotter because it's much easier to keep the tach pinned at the redline. If you stay off the redline the n you'll have no issues. But, I can get it really hot even in cooler weather if I give it a brutal thrashing.

I have had no DCT issues in 20 minute track sessions. I have had both a 6mt and a DCT M3. They both have their pluses but I prefer DCT. The shift speed is amazing and I feel just as connected to the car running it in manual mode.

Sat in a dct car around a few laps and holy shit it shifts fast. But i am not ever going to turn pro and manual is more fun. But listening to how fast the dct shifts was fun as hell too!
I think it will come down to - how long will the fun factor be there for when driving a dct. |

I cant stop laughing at the price of $1,930.00 for a transmission cooler. And the funniest part is that people still buy them.

It's all personal preference. Also FWIW - a lot of prototypes/modern GT racecars auto upshift, the driver only downshifts. Quote:

I've driven both DCT and 6MT on the track and prefer the DCT on the track without hesitation. If you're racing it's a no brainer because the advantage of DCT equates to real time in a lap (on upshifts) and allows you to be more precise with trail braking because you're don't have to heal/toe. My car is a DD and I love 6MT on the street but if i did it over again I would go the DCT route.

Based on my little testing this past Saturday at Chuckwalla, on hot summer days, I'll just track by shifting less. I was amazed that the temp guage stayed at steady 255F when I shifted less, and was able to run 7~8 straight hot laps (which I wasn't able to since February of this year). Doing that got me slower lap times, but during hot summer months, nobody is setting any lap records anyways.

6MT is better than DCT... wait, wrong thread? d'oh!
I'll probably break down and buy a DCT M4... especially given all the love for it here at the track. |
