If what the internet says is true (and who can ever not trust the internet), similar to the IS-F automatic, the FR-S/BR-Z slush box can lock-up the TC from 2nd through 6th. Lexus likes to market the IS-F can shift in 0.1s (compared to 0.05s in F1 cars) with a sorry TC auto (!), but they haven't come out to say the FR-S/BR-Z performs at that level (so I'll assume that it is not quite as good as the IS-F). Let's say the FR-S/BR-Z can shift in 0.15s, how would this close the gap between the PDK and the FR-S/BR-Z slushbox?

You seem to be missing what I'm saying. I'm not trying to "prove" that PDK is superior by writing a message in a forum and/or explaining anything from a technical perspective. I'm simply saying that you (or anyone else) has to actually DRIVE a PDK to experience it for yourself. Once you do that, there will be no need to explain the "how" or "why", you'll just know it for yourself. BTW, PDK is light years ahead of the old SMG gearbox that BMW had in the M3 and it's also better than BMW's current DCT. The FR-S/BRZ AT is pretty much a basic slushbox and not in the same league as more advanced dual-clutch gearboxes.
