Some people still prefer the traditional manual gearbox because they favor the hands-on, control-of-the-gears-in-your-hand-and-left-foot feeling over the simple flick of a switch to handle the ever so precise and quick shifting. I'm personally all for the skyline dual-clutch paddle-shift tranny, because that simply displays the refinement and technology of Nissan in the racing department. I'm pretty sure they also don't want some rich kid buying one of these just for the sake of having a cool car and then coming back to the dealer every other month because of a toasted clutch from the misuse or lack or knowledge on how to shift correctly.
Point is, for those that just don't get it, this car was made with perfection in mind. And whether or not you know how to shift, that's how it's going to perform, no matter who drives it.
