If you don't mind, may I ask why you decided to get the automatic in lieu of the 5-speed?

I'll tell you why I went with an MR over the GSR.

Shifts faster than the manual
Not a conventional auto so doesn't have the slop, has direct power feel when you press the throttle, like a manual
Faster stock for stock around a road course
Easier to deal with in stop and go

Even when I learned of the modding drawbacks, I still don't regret getting the twin clutch over the manual.

I live in northwest Indiana, our car scene makes a lot of trips out to chi area quite a bit in the summer. Maybe we'll see you out there! I'll be in a red viii, wish I could've picked up a white X but I didn't have that kind of of money lol.

I wouldn't concern myself with the modding that much. It's mostly a hypothetical - up to a point - like projecting performance on a road course, when one's focus is the street

Congratulations and best of luck with the car.

I have been working on getting the X for about 5+ years... Thought it was time to get one now that they are done for what looks like forever

I'll say this though.

If it wasn't a DD, and I don't track, and there's no real traffic in my area, and all I do is weekend drive through some twisty roads, I'd get the GSR.
