Yeah it is... But the automatic is better suited to go up against a GT-R for many reasons.

1. GT-R Nismo & Corvette automatic both accelerate in the high 2's.
2. Corvette claims there automatic is quicker to shift than the PDK. And Nissan's DCT in the GT-R has been deemed either equal or better than the PDK in terms of fast shifting.
3. It wouldn't be right if one tester had to row there own while the other had the advantage of paddleshifting.
