I'll pour gas on the fire.
The auto shifts faster

As well it should for the added weight.

That's a valid choice, for all the right reasons. But if you'd rather have a DCT than a 6MT, you're missing out by not picking up the 7AT. For all practical purposes, there's just not much difference there. Our torque converter's lockup capabilities are pretty impressive, and the shift times are fast under load. Importantly, it also stays in gear. You can bounce the rev limiter all day if you want. It's not perfect, but it's way good enough.

I rejected the GTR for having an auto, so yes I would.
Nissan does not make the Nismo in auto for some reason.
