This is the hard truth. When 2021 BMW M4 as a direct competitor does 7:30 then 7:58 is slow. Although M4 was automatic but it was on stock tyres which should be 275/40 R18 and 285/35 R19.
On the other hand I think something is off with that time. I'd really like to know what time the Mach 1 HP with 10R80 would have. On the other hand, it doesn't matter to me at all, the car is plenty powerful and fast for me. Nowadays anything is slower than EV car anyway, that's not what this all is about for me.
Once again there is no advantage on the Nurburgring with an auto or DCT. There is not a lot of shifting. On a short technical track you may see some advantage.
I saw a test done with 2 E92 M3s same driver, one a DCT the other a 6MT they were withing tenths to each other not seconds.
Keep in mind the M4 was on the Mich SC2s which is an option for the M4. Like the Mustang if you don't check the box for the SC2s you get a mix of tires. Either MIch PS4S, Pirelli PZ4.
