I was following it today and its bloody loud....and it is pretty damn fast....! Couldnt keep up on the straights!!!
Maybe he doesnt use it properly
Dont forget BMW put M5 in nurburgring as for the ring taxi.

But no doubt DSG is way better than SMG

Yea, simple ECU remap can boost with 30+bhp gain esaily, but not on the NA engine.
You have to spend at least 10+ times more to get similar power on NA
