Well everyone who i know reckons the AT is definately better for drag racing, all the serious guys run the slushboxes. But having said that I know when I went one of the guys was having all sorts of issues with his DCT, whereas all my issues were driver error that most likely could be minimised with more practice!

Ha, yeah I drove around the hosed down area, launched with 4k rpm and spun grabbed 2nd spun and then shifted to 3rd and it bogged down.... (this was 2 years ago with 240-250 rwkw and no LSD)

The car is in the shop atm getting a full M3 driveline installed, so I'll have the ///M diff and beefier half shafts soon
