It seems much more likely that they've tuned the hell out of the ZF8 downshift so it sounds fast... but that won't necessarily make it a driver's car if the shifts lag from paddle input, or if the ratios are too closely spaced to use in manual. I don't see how we can infer any of that from a ring video?

I am sure they have at least one test mule with DCT to compare behaviors with ZF8. If Markus Flasch knows how to drive DCT in manual mode, he would be able to tell that its response is much crispier and immediate compared to ZF8 especially shifting at the redline (7200+rpm).
It's likely their last chance to make another great M3/4 with pure ICE, so I hope they make it count by not compromising anything.
