The only situation that improves by a large margin is the average DCt rtransmission for a sports car has a 500hp to 700hp threshhold. Now if you're modding a $65,000 unreliable audi for power? That will be a huge advantage in a long road of spending a lot of money.

But two stock cars shifting... one 7at from nissan. (excluding lesser autos made by ZF and Aisin) and a dct in say a bmw or audi. The difference is marginal.

That said... There are better cars than Audi TTS for the money.
and not to imply anything, but i've experienced a stock Z walking away from an Audi TTS at highway speeds, so no, the Audi TTS is not faster than a Z...was funny seeing the Audi TTS owner getting really pissed that he couldnt keep up though
