I waiting for the inevitable GT-R versus Audi R8 reviews. Two incredible supercars I will never own. The auto magazine writers have been nothing short of orgasmic about both new vehicles.

It's actually quick, because that includes the response time and the actual swapping of the cogs.

Maybe it is a typo, since all official BMW and ZF documention clearly state that the 335i's ZF 6AT tranny shifts in 100ms (which yes, is very quick...as quick as a Ferrari F1 tranny).

Earlier I was saying, I would rather get a M3 over than paying 70k for a nissan. Everytime I look at it I want it more and more. It looks so aggressive. and its a beast.

+1 The VW spec for their dual clutch is usually listed at 0.02 sec. They probably missed a decimal place -- it's probably the same for this car.

BorgWarner designed both the Nissan and VW tranny. VW produces them under license from BW, I don't know if Nissan is doing the same or simply buying them from BW.
http://wardsautoworld.com/ar/auto_high_gear/ I don't think Nissan got the poor man's version for the GT-R. The differences in times are due to measurement differences, not capability of the tranny. |
