    I'd guess DSC off (full 10secs holding the button), sport mode, and paddle shifting. XFs will slide, just they're big things.

    @Phil - I'm surprised you found the gearbox slushy - mine shifted quite quickly when asked to, I can't compare to a double-clutch system though.

    The 8 speeds are better than the old 6 speeds using the paddles but no, can't really compare it to a DCT...

    DCT is another level, you actually stop thinking about any delay when changing gear and concentrate on other things. The GTR version is sublime IMO, Lexus runs it pretty close and I bet this one is pretty damn fine as well
