According to @lemetier, the 6MT is apparently a different unit now, a Magna 6MTI550 - shared with the Ford Bronco, for example. Gear ratios are identical to F80. It was also shared by him that there are now some more electronic nannies at play here, almost like a clutch-by-wire type of deal. Prevents money shifts, blips the throttle just a bit during hard braking to prevent locking up rear wheels even in rev match off mode. Curious.
Further, I just found out that the G80's 80-120 kph times in 4th and 5th gear are worse than of the F80 6MT. I would say that is due to the fact that the S58 has peak torque ca. 800 rpm higher.
I don't know. All this and the weight gain...
