WOT acceleration does push the "limit" of the car from an acceleration stand point. It is probably one of the car's "limit" the vast majority drivers are actually able to achieve on the street. And DCT does provide a significant advantage here.

I thought that was pretty obvious from my previous reply. Yes, I do track my M4, at the rate of 16 to 20 days per year. I've been tracking cars for 25 years. The whole point for me driving an ///M is to track it (I want a dual use car). I have argued the same as you many times before, it is just not possible to explore an M3/4's full performance envelope on the street. You need to go to the track for that
