The GTR drives with the power of a V8 instead of a 6-cylinder engine. Since racing regulations do not permit sequential gearshift, the GTR has a conventional 6-speed transmission The racing and road versions of the GTR differ in safety-related mods, including the cleared interior with welded safety cell, the fast filling system and racing chassis and brakes.
Uh..what's the difference between sequential and normal gearshifting?:confused:

A sequential box doesnt require you to find the gears, you simply slap the stick back to go up in gear, and push it forward to drop down in gear(info based on a Quaife sequential gearbox). Electronic sequentials are even easier, they can use push buttons on the steering wheel.

That's really awesome, considering the M3 has an electronic sequential gearshift....thingie. With paddles on the steering wheel nonetheless......I want one!
