This is exactly why my mate Advevo(AW M2 6MT) , you know him from our Dutch forum, likes the DCT 'better' mated to the N55 in the M2.....

He says there is too much lag... the M2 is better suited with a DCT if you like craziness like trackdays/drifting etc.

FWIW

I'm not a purist myself: fun, craziness, driftability, trackdays, sensation, adrenalin etc is what I'm looking for in a sporty car.
