I think gear ratio of 6MT will be readjusted to give broader hp range in high speeds, just like M2C is faster with MT than DCT.
And have you done serious track work with AWD&RWD platforms? AWD does give driver more confidence when tuned right but given same sticky rubber, RWDs(FR layout) are generally faster as they have less parasitic loss once they are kinetic.
