And at that point I don't want to concentrate on looking at what gear I'm in, I want to be concentrating on hitting the apex and my other marks. Thanks again.
So, my hope is the A10 gives us near instant up/down shifts with the paddles giving us the control of a manual with the speed of shift of a world class automatic. It does not need to be PDK good for me but if they can get close to what the GTR provides....I am all in on the A10. BTW, if you haven't driven a GTR you owe it to yourself to drive that monster. If I was not so invested in my Camaro addiction, of all the cars I have driven, the GTR would be in my garage above them all, at least all of them under $150K. What a machine.
