Re: my "objective reasons", loads of time driving them, owning, and tuning them. I'd be more than happy to drive you in back to back cars, DCT and ZF8, something tells you'll walk away and say, "You know, you're right."
Look, I am not here as a manual vs auto or DCT guy, I could care less what anyone chooses to drive.

I bet you I don't. Explain "part throttle". What makes a DCT superior to an 8HP at part throttle? the TC is locked almost all the time. There is no TC slip except at start or slower shifts when it doesn't matter. And how does "overall feel" make a DCT better? How does it make you a better driver? Yes the shifts feel a little crisper, but the car is still shifting for you. You're not doing any of the work like in a manual transmission. So what does it matter?
