Default Shift times

So I was just wondering how fast people can shift their vetts with a 6 speed. Im just trying to compare times to the new DCT's to see how much faster they really are. I know I have gotten mine down to .35 maybe lower.

When I had a 6-speed car, I never really timed my shifts. Perhaps someone who takes their car to the track has done it and can give you some comparison.

Yea I never really went out of my way to time the shifts but I noticed that while data logging the car you can actually tell how long it takes to shift, so I went and did the math yesterday with my new shifter installed. I actually dropped from .5 seconds to .35 which seems to be pretty quick considering the Gtr takes anywhere from .2-.5 seconds to complete a shift and Im sure there are plenty of people who race that can do better than that.
