I spent the good part of a day with a gentleman that tracks his V10 regularly and DDs it as well and he was blown away by F10. The throttle response is as good as a NA motor and the DCT is far better than the SMG. The 6spd will do nothing for the car.
I find the bolded parts nearly impossible to believe. With a more or less conventional turbo there is no way to beat the physics. Impellers have inertia and they must spin up. Also magazines have reported on the lag.
