^^^that is what i have been suspicious of.

overall, the car will probably be offered standard with 7speed paddle shift with automatic mode similar to Ferrari 599GTB.

the hope is that they offer a fully manual 6MT as well. let's hope.

the Ferrari 599GTB has manual paddle shifts with automatic mode. i will predict the GTR to have the same if it indeed has paddles.

Yep, all Ferrari's can be ordered with a clutch and stick. Went to go look at a 360 here at Boardwalk in plano, TX and all except one 430 had a sequential so when I asked the broker told me that all can be ordered in a manual tranny. Here is also an ad by road and track that talks about the there 3 different tranny's available on the 430 that can be had, auto, manual , F1 paddle.

I hope that nissan takes hint from audi and ferrari and not make the mistake BMW did with there first year M3.

Thumbs up fully manual for me, then

ok, then. i call standard 7speed manual paddles with auto mode. and then the OPTION of 6MT.

that is my pyschic prediction.

Man I really hope your right because the 6 speed manual is what I am opting for.

me too.

paddles will be the standard, though

maybe they'll be good? perhaps americans are just stubborn and not "with it."

sounds like people are getting a sequential transmission and a automatic confused. A sequential box is a manual with a normal clutch system. The difference is that the shift pattern is not an H, it has a push fwd to shift down and pull back to **** up pattern acomplished through a ratcheting drum inside the trans instead of the usual shift forks. I also allows full throttle clutchless shifts when equiped with strieght cut gears. This is not a bad thing. Many of the top tuner r32-r34 gtrs have aftermarket hollinger units installed. It is doubtfull though that this is what will make its way into the v35 gtr, and I like all of you am hoping for a standard six speed option at least. I posted a pic of the signal auto r34 that won the Seattle Formula Drift comp using a hollinger six speed sequential box.
