It is the other way around. The BMW SMG sucks, the manual is still the way to go.

I didn't know Acura made a Type R version of the NSX. I know Honda did.

The engine was designed for the SMG, several sources mention that the manual is not the right transmission for this car. It is the same transmission used in the E39 made by Getrag I believe. Also IIRC, manual equipped cars do not have the choice of switching off stability control.

No, check your sources again. You can turn off SC with a 6 speed and the SMG still sucks.
BMW tells us that the DSC in the six-speed M5 can't be disabled because of warranty concerns associated with aggressive launches.
With no workable way to defeat DSC, we selected M Dynamic Mode for all of our performance testing.

He said one car of one make and model to drive forever, I love super fast coupe cars as much as the next guy, however if I am going to be driving a car for the rest of my life then I would pick a nice spacious luxury sedan, as there would come a point where a coupe would be inconvenient because you might want to use your car as a family car or have more passengers on board.
As for me I would take a nice fancy luxurious yet fast, tuned and powerful BMW G7![]()
