who cares what you chose... in 5 years or so i can see 99% of all the sports cars coming in auto with gtr-like dual clutch trannies and manual will probably be a relic. then we'll see less than 20% HP losses (~17 right now on our babies?) and losses that are closer to manual with improved efficiencies.

all i care about is... CAN I DRIVE SIDEWAYS AND BE COOL?

Just seems like a waste of engine. Without the ability to shift when you choose, either manual or paddles, then the auto is never going to take you anywhere near the red line.
Again, what a waste.

It just proves how many people have sports cars for show. These types of threads should be reserved for people who are in the 150mph+ club.

Eh, I'd say 98% of the VQ37vhr (IE. pretty much every Infiniti) on the road are managed by the transmission in D and the owners couldn't care less

You don't need paddles to manually shift the automatic, you can still use the shift selector. You just move it over to the left and shift away.

Then again I like to demonstrate to my mother 'LOOK MOM NO HANDS!'

my car has never seen actual "automatic/ D" mode.

everytime i get in my car its 1, 2, 3. start button, VDC off, manual mode.

regular daily commute and normal driving i use the shifter select

track/drag strip/back road or dragon driving - all get the paddles.

i love the fact i have the option of either. its much more comfortable with the shift knob for just normal driving and has the old feel of a manual driving position and yes i find myself accidentally moving my left foot at times lol

actually that is the only thing i dont like about the GTR is that its paddles only lol
