I get the need for having faster shifts but IMHO nothing beats the feel of of controlling the car (and the fun of driving) then when your driving a regular manual transmission.

This is one of the reasons I always have the synchro rev match disabled. Its a nice feature but manually doing everything is a big part of the 'fun factor' of driving for me.
With the GTR, or any other $90k+ car, you cannot play with it in a "budget". Maintenance in the GTR doesn't cost as much as some may think, but when something breaks and YOU have to pay for it.....you be better be prepared.

I know the grass is always greener on the other side, but I just wanted to at least give you guys my OPINION as I went to GTR land and came back, even though I can comfortably live with the GTR in my stable financially.
