True, but comparing a 6mt F87 to a ZF8 G87 for "down low power" is apples and oranges for no good reason. You could get the F87 in DCT and the G87 in 6mt, so any performance gains from auto vs manual are moot since the same could be said about the F87.
We have the dyno graphs; there's no need to speculate: F87 is significantly torquier down low, but I think most people here would trade that for the G87's power curve any day of the week.
