if they did, I would be asking why they didn't put it in the regular GTR's to begin with

Depending on the economy I'd bet:

1...V Spec may not arrive state side.

2...V Spec uses manual transmission to keep weight and costs down.

Looks like the Vspec will be a $100,000 car with a $60,000 transmission=$160,000.

you're not including dealer mark-up of 30k either. So it really is 190k, or about as much a GT2.

But will there be enough trunk space for the extra tranny. Mizuno, can you figure out a way of installing a second backup tranny in the trunk?
