Who says zf 8 speed is faster? Zf 8 speed is in the range of 60-90ms whereas dct is 6ms as its next gear is already engaged. Plus automatic never feels natural to shift manually (oh how i hate steptronics on porsche..zf got better but it still does not rev match as smoothly as dct. Could be a mapping issue.)
