How does the tranny in the GTR compare to the DCT in the M3? Smoother, more jerky or about the same?

Well, the shift speed is hard to tell a difference. I know on paper the M3 DCT is supposed to shift at 80ms vs the GTR's 120ms. First to second is a bit smoother in the M3 DCT vs the GTR's. WOT shifting feels a bit more firm with the GTR and feels more direct, if that makes sense? I would guess it's because of the substantial torque advantage in the GTR vs the M3. (my 12' with exhaust and mid pipe on a 17psi pump tune made 537tq on a mustang dyno vs my ESS/AR 700 M3's 394tq on a dynojet) The GTR is still under powered vs the M (although very close, roughly 60hp peak less then the M3) it still feels alot faster. Hell, bone stock the 2012 GTR felt faster then the M3 up here in Colorado. However, when the rest of the SBD 700+ package arrives and we tune on 20psi and E85, I know for a fact the GTR will absolutely DESTROY the M3 in a straight line from a roll or dig and murder it in the twisties.
