From what I've read, as I've neither driven a twin clutch or an automated manual, the twin clutches are better in every aspect. Shift speed, smoothness, power delivery, automatic mode, starting on an incline etc...
Also I'm not sure you just take off some parts and electronics to make an auto-manual a manual, as I believe they are also sequential.

How was that test drive of the LFA? Only ONE single reviewer has described it as badly as you claim. Stop spreading mis-information.
Anyway, Toyota is not going to put the Transmission from a $375K car into the FT-86. Neither does the FT-86 need a transmission that can handle 552hp-350+ft/lbs (though that would be lovely).
Now, If One were to talk about an improved version of the SMT in the MR-S...........
