No offense clean, but have you ever tried to put down 550hp without traction control? You'd have your ass end be your front end before you knew what happened. Plus, if it's anything like Honda's normal AWD setup, the car is RWD until it senses that it's starting to lose traction, in which case it will convert power to the other two tires in order to stabilize everything. I'm not positve on that, but it's how just about every production Honda AWD system is (although switched).
As far as the DSG style system it's for true racing enthusiasts. On the road course, the more time your hands are on the wheel the better. That's why Indy/F1/etc are paddle shifters, the technology is just starting to make it's way to the public that's all. Although I hope they come with a standard 6speed, I think I'll take a DSG 8 speed without complaint in that kind of car.
Honestly, I think this is all a step in the right direction for the NSX.
