A twin turbo setup is almost always more efficient than a single turbo setup, that's why the the top engine for the R32-R34 Skyline (like the ones from both Fast and the Furious movies) is a twin turbo I6.

That's what I've been trying to say!!!

If you read what I said earlier, I mostly agree with you. "More fun" is a matter of pure opinion that can't be argued, but I already said that they would be cheaper...

About the transmissions, if your trying to say that a sequential gear box is not a manual transmission, I'm sorry, but your incorrect. Manual transmission means that the driver controls when the transmission shifts and what gear it shifts into. That makes a stick shift and a paddle-shift both a manual transmission.
Plus you don't seem to know that their is more difference between a manual transmission and an automatic than just if the driver has control over the shifting. A true manual transmission is lighter and transfers more power to the wheels because they transfer power from the engine more efficiently. I won't go into too much detail, but an automatic uses a different planetary-gear based system that weighs more and transfers power less efficiently from the engine because it uses a torque converter which uses hydraulic fluid. So the definition of a manual transmission and an automatic transmission is more than just how much control the driver has over gear shifting, they are fundamentally different designs.
Manual transmissions are, without a doubt, superior for performance, so I'll agree with you that an automatic Skyline GT-R would be horrible, but you shouldn't call a sequential gear box transmission an automatic; it's much more like a stick shift manual transmission then an automatic like most everyone's grandma drives.
