Well, there would be some advantages to DCT you're not thinking about. On the minimal... we wouldn't have a torque converter which would make our shifts smoother and more seamless than right now... no harsh 1-2-3. Exhaust note would sound better. And finally, when we modify to turbo, our transmissions would have a higher threshold before needing to be modified. Considering we had the GTR transmission or one similar to the EVO. We'd be good for 600hp on our stock tranny. The Z would be hella worth having a DCT in my book.
