Damn GTR is so lame, I roast them on highway rolls because their stupid automatics are hunting for gears.

Pretty much, it won't do "skip-gear" downshifts like most DCT's or even the slush-box in an A6 vette. It has to go down through each and every gear above the gear it needs before it gets there. It won't just hop to it. Huge downside, unless of course you hardcore guys like rolling around in 4th all the time, lol.

This doesn't hurt so much on the track, but in daily driving when you want to punch it on the freeway, I can imagine it would get very frustrating.

Well, FWIW, on any highway encounter I bet you the GTR will be in the correct gear.

don't most race transmissions use sequential manual? which don't allow you to skip gears? i've seen a lot of in car footage and i they downshift through every gear.
