The Tree shouldn't dictate which car is fastest in this scenario, that is more of a "who is the better driver". 2 out of 3 runs. I am curious which one will heat soak the quickest too.
Do you have any simulated data on the X2MC yet?

The X3MC will need the Sportsman Tree to build boost against the torque converter to get a decent launch. A Pro Tree will kill the X3MC.
I love DCT's. Have one in my Turbo S. Much better to launch vs BMW Launch Control. I've used BMW Launch Control many times on my X5M, M5 and X3MC. All limit rpm to 2700ish.
So ADVANTAGE Merc on this one with a 3500rpm DCT !
If both are pure stock, both launched properly, both 93 pump gas.......will be a very fun race. Merc with more torque and awesome DCT will leave quicker/harder...will the X3MC close the gap up top ?????? Fun to watch......
Good luck !
