If one is focused on 0-60 times, street starts , street racing , or Drag racing then a DCT is definitely what you want.

The only time I ever drive 0-60 is leaving the paddock going onto the track. I don't street race and I don't hook around much at all on the street because I regularly Autocross and HPDE.

Even a launch at an Autocross course you don't get to 60 because generally by the time you get out of first gear and well into second there is an element.. :

I assume you never have driven on free speed German Autobahn?
This weekend I did almost 1000km there. Lot of time between 170-250kph.
DCT is just outstanding here. It is realy easy to drive focused, both hands on wheel, which actually is preferred when there is some traffic and when straights becomes turns in this speed.
Manual is just not as good.
