if you ever get the chance try going to your BMW dealership and test driving a SMG M3 you'll get a good feeling for wat an ELECTRONIC controlled sequential gear box is like..

but like i said if you check out that Xtrac company their history and accomplishments look pretty good and they offer a wide variety of gearbox setups for different types of racing, and they also offer a 6spd in most cases, i'm not sure how the GT4's gearing is but having the ability to select your gear ratios is an incredably appealing piece to me.

but good luck i hope i provided you with something helpful smile.gif
