If you actually drive the car at the limit you'll miss the DCT. I wasn't bothered by the low speed jerks or how it would roll back, that made it more fun. I drove my M2 at the limit and loved how well the DCT was in manual mode. I can't speak fully to the ZF8 in that regard yet but while smoother it'll never be as fun.

End rant of me saying the same thing several ways

The revs hang/delay need redline with the ZF8 slowly kills me though. Maybe lol get past that
Agree… my only qualm with zf8. I must say that even in s3 that it lags ever so slightly close to redline in Lowe gears or the digital dash is off.
I think it lags and yes. Iove the DCT because it was lightning fast. No traditional auto can match that. Even in S3 it has the same issue I shift at the first red light or it bounces off the dev limiter
