I also think the ZF is just a cost cutting measure. I don't think it will ever be like the DCT.
Just the fact that the current RS5, Guilia etc use it tells you it's a transmission for posers who like bragging about 'going to the track' but never go.
However, I have driven the current M5 competition and must say the ZF does an admirable job of feeling like a DCT during hard street driving. Whether it is able to handle hard track use is another question entirely
