It takes all the fun out of driving when a computer does all the work. Also those GTRs posted on EBAY are the versions with the launch control issues they can be fixed on this year however, these issues are fixed with the 2010 models.

Look dude, you're dead wrong.
An automatic is hydraulic with a torque converter; anything with a friction clutch, no matter how you move the clutch, is a manual.
As far as having a clutch pedal, who gives a shit, that's personal preference. I'm sure the guys who drive everything from E-gear Lambos to F1 cars would be very sad to learn they aren't driving true sports cars.
