I have ridden in the 2012 C63 AMG coupe with the MCT transmission and performance package (6.2NA not 5.5TT)

The MCT wet clutch thing is a marvel of engineering. The shifts even at WOT are extremely smooth and quick while feeling solid and firm.

I can only imagine how 5.5TT feels with more power and torque...

The power numbers are pretty amazing...4.4TT vs 5.5TT, yet the BMW has 552hp...Just wait till the tuners get a hold of these engines....GAME OVER
