Having a seventh cog on the TTRS DSG really makes a difference. Discovered this when we were comparing GTRs (6 speed DSG) vs the 911TTs which first came in 6 speed manuals and then in 7PDK, all in similar states of tune.
The DriveTribe result could also be due to the manual vs DSG handicap.
Having said that, I didn't buy the M2 for outright speed.
I'm using it for the daily commute where I want to have involvement at relatively low speeds. And for the weekend drives at the local mountain passes.
The Golf R is a relatively fun car too. But it isn't the same level as the M2.
Chris Harris had an old video segment back when he was running Chris Harris on Cars where he pit the Mk7 R against the M235i Performance Pack which is well worth a watch.

Seventh gear on the M2 DCT however is a second overdrive so...
