I get it now then. Makes me feel much better about my 7at. I have really grown to love it. Don't get me wrong, I love sticks as well but I'm not unhappy that I ended up with the auto. I just always wondered if I was missing out not having a dual clutch like my friend with the M3.

Honestly, the only way you'd be wishing you had a DCT is if you were trying to get 600hp from your auto and didn't want to spend $4k in prep to make the auto turbo friendly. DCT's can take more under that kind of load.

True and I'm not wanting to do that. My exhaust and intake will be the only performance mods I do. I'm plenty happy with the power it puts out. I've had it for just over a year now and love it more now than ever.

You should finalize with some JDM pieces like the rear light, the motor for the mirrors, jdm cargo net and clear tail lights. A GTR start button livens up the dash too.
