That's an interesting fact though. Was it the same auto tranny that the NAs we have use?

BUT - how many standard trannies do you see in a drag car that runs under 9 seconds........not many........
an auto tranny DOES have benefits - its just not as fun to rip around town with

I also think that any drag/race car should not have an auto. I think it eliminates the driver to an extent. I think shifting a manual tranny is part of what makes the race. Its not just who has more HP or reaction time. I just like the fact when your racing somebody the driver plays just as big a role in the race as the car does.

the Japanese models are
GT-R, turbo, it is the base model, so no sunroof, LSD, aero kit, rear spoiler. it has steel wheels, and hood. it uses the same tweed upholstery as our base/GTU model, although with turbo style seats.
GT-X. this is most like the US spec T2, it has the AL hood, aero kit, spoilers, LSD. the same wheels and upholstery as the US spec T2. major difference is that it has no sunroof or ABS.
GT-Limited. this is like our GXL. it has the GXL seats, AAS, ABS, sunroof, auto climate control. steel hood, no LSD.
GT-Limited special edition. its a GT-Limited with leather and CD
the cabriolet, is similar to the US car, except its turbo and ABS.
the Infini's vary, there were 4 series, I, II, III and IV. basically they were a GT-X no back seat. they grow features as they go along, but at the end they have special seats, knee braces, a strut brace, 16" BBS wheels, with pirelli p zeros, different shocks and brake pads.

yes, every FC is turbo in Japan. they did not get the GTUs in Japan. all the FC's in Japan were 2+2 except the Infini's.

i think thats an S4 vs S5 thing. i've got the S5 brochure, which is all shot at the nurburgring, and its just GTR/GTX/GT-limiteds/Cabriolet
