Since it has been proven countless times the 8L90 shift time is faster than a pro driver can manually shift. In fact, the difference between a pro driver and the 8L90 shift times is greater than the difference between it and a PDK. So no the 8L90 is as close to a hypercar DCT as GM has produced. So please continue to post reasons why you have no clue what you are talking about. Saying there is lag in the paddles is on thing, but saying the M6 is even remotely close to a DCT is pure ignorance.
Even though your tone is condescending and your post argumentative, I agree that the M6 is NOT remotely close to PDK.
If you take the time to reread my post, I said that the rev matching M6 is the closest thing that GM offers to DCT at this time after personally testing all of these transmissions for myself. I never said that the rev matching M6 is close to a DCT.
Reading comprehension is fundamental.
Don't even get me started on Tadge Juechter ON VIDEO recommending the rev matching manual over the A8 due to various reasons, including over heating issues.

Here is my olive branch to all:
Can we all agree that everyone wanting a "paddle shifting experience" from the A8 needs to personally test the A8 and M6 before making their decision, especially those coming from a manual transmission or wanting a DCT experience ????
