There were faster cars, but they were all "one time creations" or I have never heard of them, lol. That, and they were all in the ^ min. range, lol. I'm actually impressed by the performance of the new GTR! I can't wait to sign my life away for one! haha. Oh, and the car has paddle shifters....

That auto is faster on shifting tham most people can shift in a manual 0.2 seconds between shifts, but then again is not a true auto, EVO X has the same system

Not really. It actually has a clutch so it is attached directly to the drivetrain unlike the slack created by torque converters in an auto. Plus it blips the throttle for you to rev match on downshifts. I still prefer the conventional standard though.
