If Nissan used a dual clutch set up like Porsche's PDK then I would have probably gone that route since PDK is more in line with a manual while the 7AT is just an auto with paddle shifters. I drove a Cayman S with both and the PDK is a lot of fun.
Not to throw any fire on the subject, but do any of the 5.0 guys know what is going on with the TSB for the GT's manual? Last I heard it was just people complaining about it being a little stiff but of course it turned into a big deal.

I would really love to hear your comparo between the 7at and pdk??? What makes it more fun? Cuz I drove the pdk, 135I with dct and EVO MR.
The only advantage I see with those trannies is they have a 550-700hp modification capacity depending on brand, while our AT's only can handle 400rwhp, before they need reinforcement.
Did you have a magic clutch in your DCT that made it more fun?
So elaborate... I really need to hear this one.
