Great 2009 GTR Article & Pics!

are you new? youre comparing acura’s paddle shift with the GT-R’s?

the acura unit is just a conventional automatic that happens to have paddles that will hold gears. it still uses a torque converter and planetary gearset and is still an automatic.

the GT-R uses a rear-mounted manual transaxle with TWO electro-hydraulically actuated clutches and a traditional gearset

i dont care what you think about the GT-R… everyone is entitled to their opinion. but just because you see two cars with ‘padel shifters’ doesn’t make them anything remotely alike
