Not quite an accurate comparison. Where the GT-R has paddle shifters it is not an automatic transmission by any means. I've heard that argument before, but disagree. I don't think it ruins the car.

Totally, totally agree with u. The paddle shift manual is designed so a driver can be more focused and engaged. Too many people think that playin with a stick makes u a great driver.
Truth is the paddle shift gives u many handling advantages that manuals don't give.
And the 7at is .02 seconds faster in the quarter. Which doesn't mean much but proves a point. Never the less. Watever your transmission choice is.
Hone the skills.

The members of myg37.com who have boosted both the AT and the MT have similar numbers in power output but the MT still puts out slightly more with less risk as GTmotorsports has stated a few times. Not a quote but I have read their reviews on their work and a few times on the AT jobs they have said something similar to "keep in mind this is an A/T". A few PROS to think about with the AT:
-turbos do not re-spool during each shift
-shifts are going to be faster than any person could ever shift
-An average driver could put down decent times on a straight with an AT vs an average driver in a MT

CONS
-when that AT gear box has issues, your bank account is gonna have issues as well or your gonna make your credit card companies very happy
