Did look very fun... but for a street car, not for me.

Obviously great for the drag strip but doesn’t it look like you lose some of the appeal of accelerating a turbocharged car? I know some are thinking WTF man but what I mean is I’ve seen big power skyline vids and that one didn’t have the drama of the acceleration (ie having to spool the turbo again) between gears.

I guess you could use the clutch and take it easier but aren’t these boxes designed to be shifted hard and fast?

It looks almost like it makes it one relentless (aside form the BANG) ride, no doubt still barmy but I like lag & spool and on the street it’s looking to me like that gbox is egging you on to do a top speed run every time you accelerate.

I’d have that gearbox up in court with me being cross examined by the prosecution! It was HIM!
