A manual gearbox is not even necessarily slower… I do understand the split-second-shifting, cutting-edge technology and what not in these new “semi-auto” transmissions…and I really can appreciate it…but i’m still with the seemingly-shrinking group of the manual transmission lovers (according to the direction exotic car makers are headed). You just can’t replace the direct feel of a manual tranny and it never gets tiring for me…the semi-autos always do. ---

^Can’t really watch that vid at work, but Audi’s DSG on the VW Golf outshifted Tsuchiya, and I’d like to think that he’s pretty good at driving stick. As for the “who are you racing?” bit, clearly the guy beside you 😉 ---

“You might want to read the numbers again, the GTR has also beat the Z06 by 7-seconds on the Nurburgring…despite being 700lbs heavier and made of metal not plastic” unless they are using the same driver these times dont mean much… ---

A manual will always be more enjoyable on the street, and on the track. But the auto shifts faster and gives better times. I rather get to work 3 seconds later and enjoy myself. ---

^^ couldnt be said any better, and even if you were goin against some other guy, isnt the whole experiance and changing gears, i mean you could be racing a 5.0 in a stock 240 and beat him if he misses a shift, how much fun is it racing with an automatic… ---

I actually posted the video as “supporting evidence” that a manual transmission might actually be faster around a track than their “semi-auto” counterparts, ironically. ---

As far as i know, the GTR is being made available to north american this coming spring (2008) and it will also be offered in a 6 speed manaul, a lot of the sites are saying that it will have 6 speed manual. “EDMUNDS - INSIDE LINE”. ---

na bro, I don’t think they’ll offer a substitute for the semi-auto…although if they do, there’s a market for that 🙂 ---
