An honest question for you. If the rpm spread in the A8 is smaller than the M6, and you can manually shift the A8, wouldn't it be the drivers inability to keep the car in the correct power range that is the issue? I would think even with a very slight delay in shifting, a good driver would be able to have it in the correct gear well before apex and exiting the corner. I've never tracked an auto so I could be well off base.
