A lot of AT's are faster nowadays. I mean, it's part of why Ferrari is no longer going to make manual transmissions soon.

Same with lambo's, most of the Mercedes AMG line as well. There's more of course there's no point listing them all.

If I'm not mistaking, the last time Ferrari had an automatic, torque-converter transmission like those found in the 370Z was the 456 GTA that ceased production seven years ago...
You can't compare a Ferrari transmission with an 370Z's AT

For you 7AT drivers who haven't tried the 6MT and syncro revmatch in the 370Z, I'll point out another thing.

If you're trying to accelerate hard with the SRM, it takes a bit longer if you're still trying to be smooth. The reason why is that when you let off the gas and press the clutch, the revs stay up until the point at which you actually select another gear. So if you want the revs to fall a bit for the next gear to be smooth, you're waiting another second or so for the SRM. Without the SRM, the revs would start falling as soon as you let off the gas and press the clutch.

I was talking about AT's in general, br0. Just saying that the tech exists to make them faster than manual. Tha's all.
