I don't believe it's a sequential shifter, but the reason the lever is so long is probably so that it's convenient for the driver...the Koenigsegg CC8S has the same sort of setup and it's certainly a regular manual (with a foot-operated clutch)

Changed the body a little? I don't think it is a sequential shifter either. Why would they do that? air and pneumatic transmissions don't last as long and Bulletproof is more of just a tuning shop. Check out some of their S2000s.

Notice that it has paddle shifters behind the steering wheel so I'd put down $20 and say... sequential gearbox.

Very nice car but I don't like its rear end. A stock RX7 has a pretty nice booty so why mess with what's not broken.

Looks can be decieving huh guys. I read that the car was a sequential and I didn't even notice the paddle shifters. I have also seen a Japanese S15 driven by Tsuchiya in a video that looks like it has a regular manual. But it obviously isn't because he justs pushes it up and down.
