how much faster, would you venture?

personally, I would guess the manual would be .035 slower, to the dismay of the true enthusiast.

A tenth or two down the 1/4 I'd guess. A manual is typically lighter than a DSG trans.

Is it confirmed that a M/T will be available?

Also I wanted to add I really love the rear fascia of the GT-R, but the wing could be retooled. Also I wanted to point out that the comment in the linked article where it says how when he took a seat in the car it looked as if he were in fact in a 60K vehicle, I feel as if the interior design is a bit lacking for such a highly anticipated vehicle.
