Look at the GTR, I mean change is good but since 2009 when released, Nissan has changed something on the car whether it be mechanical or cosmetic every single year since 09 which is pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
I mean let the car run its course for at least an extra year or so. If you buy a GTR I am sure you will be upset when Nissan adds something within months of your purchase.
To replace a DSG in GTI not under warranty is not cheap. Im happy the Z doesnt have it. Its fine the way it is. DSG/DCT's are not cheap at all. They do fail. Surf the GTI forums for the fun people have with them on failures/software upgrades etc. Cost is the discerning factor and the performance increase is marginal given the cost.
