I was a bit worried about this myself at 1st, but with the performance, this concern is not even thought about after the purchase and my 1st stock test drive. I actually like the way the transmission works with the dual clutch in the GT-R. It shifts in only .2 seconds which is humanly impossible in a standard gearbox.

If I want to rip thru a traditional 6 speed, I'll hop in the 370Z and take it for a spin...

Also remember the GT-R is a Super Car, NOT a Sports Car, two very different beasts. Most Super Cars in almost every brand, have switched over to the dual clutch trans for better performance results.
