It won't be too much longer and you should be seeing US spec consumer bought ones on the road.

when will Nissan decide to get rid of the SMG and just have in manual without the 3 different modes? for that much, you would think that would be a option.

Steve Mitchell (M-Workz) said it well when he told me that when you drive it you'll understand. He basically told me "whenever you would ordinarily shift, it shifts".

V-Spec will take care of that problem.

I wonder how many miles that GTR has? It's being whored out everywhere. It is an amazing piece of work though, I can't wait to own a used one someday.

Sadly not going to happen. If anything, the "regular" models would offer a traditional manual and the V-Spec would be solely dual-clutch.

It's already confirmed that regular models would only come in Dual Clutch. V-Spec will be in M/T.

Works for me, but doesn't really make sense. The track oriented model should have the flappy paddle gearbox.

I brought up the Lambo crew from OC for this run in Valencia...around 70 exotics/sports cars organized by my close friend. We got some SICK footage!! btw, when the GT-R finally passed, we immediately tailed him.

Here's my buddy's sick ride which also served as the camera/video car...2nd pic was taken along the back road on our reststop.

In the other thread, they mentioned that this car is going to be up for sale. It'd be interesting to see how much a used and likely modded GTR will go for.

You should call me for pricing,
818-769-8100
the car won't last we have several interested parties.
