Let’s see how the M2s numbers stacked up against other cars.

Does this qualify as optimistic?

I see nothing wrong with questioning what a DCT would do to that time. Top 10 quite possibly.
Well.. coming in at spots 9 and 10 are the 911 GT3 and the 911 R .. six tenths difference.

If that difference was added to the M2 time That doesn't move it very far.
It should be the 991 GT3 RS that is the dual clutch counterpart of 911 R. So you better look at 997 4.0 GT3RS on the list, which is 2.6 sec quicker. Then think a few tenths faster with 991 GT3 RS.

Not trying to say m2 DCT is that good, but really you need a pro to close the DCT-manual gap if ever possible at all.

And you've made a very wrong point.
