The ZF 8 speed is a fantastic gearbox; both the MT and the ZF 8 speed are proper gearboxes.

The video above is purely tongue-in-cheek; we all know the 1M is the quicker car.
That's not at all what I am saying.

If you lack the skill to properly launch a manual gearbox in a high torque car such as the 1M, you shouldn't be drag racing against an automatic as in the M135, where the driver only has to put his foot down.
