 I just hope DSG-type transmissions come down in cost enough to be on Z-level cars sometime in the next several years. Something tells me before that happens though, the world will have moved on to all-electric sportscars in the mainstream anyways. The ideal setup seems to be 4 electric motors, one in each wheel, with a giant battery pack for the short term and a tiny fixed-rpm gasoline generator separately in the trunk that serves as a battery recharger for longer cruising. With that sort of setup you get AWD, instant torque at any speed/rpm, perfect traction control, awesome regenerative brakes, and no shifting necessary at all. They trounce traditional cars in theory, it's just matter of time for the engineering to be perfected and the component prices to come down.

Yeah a lot of cars have the dual clutch including the Mitsubishi ralliart. If the g coupe gets the dual clutch the z will too. I would like to see the dual clutch in the next z but I think it may be too noisy to make it into the infiniti line.

  eager to see what happens with the R35 before it's done. it would surprise me if the next Z doesn't have a dual clutch automated manual transmission similar to the GTR's. they may still offer a tradition manual trans for those who prefer it and because of it's cheaper cost, but i don't see them putting a torque converter automatic in the Z anymore... at least i hope not (though the 370's 7spd is pretty good for a slushbox)
