Pulling a Wheelstand in a Nissan GT-R

Nissan put a dual-clutch transmission in the R35 GT-R to make it shift faster than a traditional manual gearbox. It works, most of the time, but it will never do what this R32 GT-R with a five-speed manual did during a hard launch down the dragstrip at California Speedway.

Which setup would you rather have?

Actually that car has a Getrag 6 speed transmission in it. The R32/R33 came with a 5 speed from the factory. The R34 came with a Getrag V160 transmission(very similar to the Toyota V160). A lot of owners and shops have swapped out to the Getrag in their earlier model cars.
