I am officially done with manuals....unless I decide to pick up a Viper in the near future.
I'm going to test drive both this weekend, but here's my question. Maybe you (or anyone) can help me with this. I've also driven manuals all my life, but this time I wanted the paddle shifters. I know this isn't a DSG like in an M3 or an Audi, but I want to know if it will ever interfere at all. If I'm using the paddle shifters, will it shift for me at some point? I don't want any interference, I want it to shift up or down only when I do it. Is that possible in the Z, or do I need to stick w/ the 6AT? I know with the DSG cars, it only shifts when you tell it to, other than going back into first when you come to a stop.

Thanks.
