I think that attitude is a form of Luddism, though - resistance to new technology. I like manual transmissions as much as the next car guy, but the GT-R's semi-automatic trans isn't just another crappy auto trans. There's no clutch pedal, but the driver still has control of the shifting, and I think it probably increases the quality of the driving experience. With every major advancement there is some level of resistance and that feeling that "ehhh, the old way is so much better" - but that dual clutch auto trans is an amazing technology. Terry

I like manual transmissions as much as the next car guy, but the GT-R’s semi-automatic trans isn’t just another crappy auto trans. There’s no clutch pedal, but the driver still has control of the shifting, and I think it probably increases the quality of the driving experience.

No, the shift time is not 0.2 or 0.5; but you know that the time of the shift, and how correct it is in terms of getting it into the gate, is your responsibility. This is what the Italian, some of the German and the Lotus offer in terms of driving experience. I'd match that agains the Skyline, any day of the week. Somehow, I don't think the latest Skyline will look so good to people, 20 years from now - or more importantly, offer the same level of enjoyment as a Maserati Gran Turismo or Ferrari F430. But that's just my opinion, and I could be wrong. Nothing matches the experience of a completely manual transmission, for connecting with the machine.

I call false on the comparison, because a typical F1 transmission shift time is approximately 0.05 seconds. “This means shifts in the Nissan GT-R take only 0.2 seconds; that’s Formula One fast people.”
