The gear spacing is going to be to close together to use the motor . I just do not see it . I think that what wrong with the M4 and the 7 speed DCT trans in that car . The gears are to close together an the M4 can not put power down . That motor need a 2 speed powerglide trans in it .
Huh?
They did it so that there is both a wide overall spread from 1st to last and close ratios between each gear along the way.

And what are you talking about with the M4 having gears 'too close together to put the power down'? That is precisely why you go with closely spaced gears in the first place: to keep the engine in the powerband between shifts.
