Its fine if during shiftup. It blows the engine if you're on a manual and accidentally downshift to a low gear outside its speed range. Like 2nd gear at 80 or something.

So this auto holds up well to a high percentage of manual mode usage then right? I test drove an auto today and it was great, BUT, there was something lacking. Could not work out exactly what it may be. After a while I thought about it and figured out that what was lacking was the feel/excitement/interaction you get from a manual. I have asked the dealer to call me when he has a manual demonstrator for a test drive. Having said that, I still may opt for an auto cause the traffic here in Melbourne sucks and is only going to get worse cause our lousy government is bringing in immigrants and doing NOTHING about our roads or public transport system.
So now waiting for the dealer to call

too low in revs it downshift but redlining just kill it.

which is odd since I remember the GT-R upshifting at redline

GTR shifts at redline if you leave it in normal mode. When the tranny is in Race mode, it'll bounce off the limiter as long as you'd want it to.

And it will always be missing too. To trade this excitement for .1 seconds 0-60, is the choice. I made mine. Good luck with yours.

Why get a 7AT when you can get the 6MT and be super cool? You don't even need to use the clutch. Just throw it into the next gear.
