Speaking on shifting...

Some do like the feel of having a clutch pedal and having the shifter on the side. I personally love driving a stick shift vehicle. However, the development of paddle shifting, specifically the speed of the shift and the ability of automatically rev matching the engine to match the desired gear without any backlash, has improved dramatically in some of the higher end vehicles.

I suppose it would depend on what the target was for Nissan when they were deciding on what type of gear shifting mechanism they wanted for the GTR. If you want all out performance, minimizing driver error, and having 100% repeatability, then the answer is clear.

Electronic paddle shifting.
