It's also influenced by trans fluid temp and throttle position, so if the fluid was cold and you didn't give it much pedal, it might feel a bit more granny shift-ish.

Also best to have VDC off.

And throttle response on both AT and MT needs to be tweaked.

Anyway, like I said, you can turn the shift speed and firmness waaaay up with Osiris.

I'd try a different one or see if someone around you has a tuned one to play with before you decide... That said, if you prefer a MT, go for it!
Oh yeah, I had VDC off day before yesterdayand tried this: Shifted to manual mode @ 50 Car went into 5th. Double pulled the -shift paddle punched the gas. Lit up the tires for about 10ft in 3rd while thrusting the car forward with great attority. I didn't expect that. I was truly impressed. It's all about learning what and how to accomplish what you want out of the S7.
