[QUOTE="LostM, post: 16107685, member: 151836"] Its an E9x M3, not E46 ( they had SMG) but close enough I have a feeling they are going to be a bit better performing on the dragstrip than they are letting on, based on some more reading I have been doing. 1- i read somewhere about the TUNABLE Launch Control. I mentioned that earlier, that dct is hard to get off the line in basic construct, but if you can play with it a bit, it will do just fine, dropping ET's significantly. The mph will always be there as the dct is an advantage once rolling. 2. I found some vids of a colleague of mine. this guy is super techy, and designed the vboxverify website/tool that we all use to verify the vbox reading when posting the times for 60-130 etc ( very big in the euro crowd, catching on in other platforms). So he has immense knowledge and skill. ALSO, he was able to post these vids years ago when we had the same debates over DCT advantages.

I say that because we can all agree that auto is faster than manual, ut how much faster is DCT vs Auto. well, here he has the exact same car run the test several times, on the same day, wihtin minutes of eachother, on the same road, in the same direction.
