The Road & Track test data in their September issue is for a 6MT:

There are also a few European magazines that have published data for 6MT cars. Auto Motor & Sport here:

Do note that I beleive that there is a flaw in Swamp's simulation. I think he considers the same drivetrain loss for DCT and 6MT, which is not indicative of reality IMO. While I do believe a DCT car will be faster, it will not be faster by that much.
