More torque, dual clutch sst, and I'm already ready to ditch my WRX with that decade old Subaru powertrain (which Subaru kept even in 2008 model).

Who says SST has a performance advantage?

That was a drivers race, if you want to see the advantage between a manual and dual clutch tranny do it on a 1/4 mile.
Theres a video on youtube where tsuchiya took a vw golf with a twin clutch and a manual for a spin. The twin clutch was about half a second faster yet it weighed more.

Look at the video again, the SST set a faster lap time ;)

Yes, but just because VW can do it does not mean Mitsu can.
