7A Transmission...dare I commit heresy?

I went from manual to Auto when i switched from my 370z to my bmw 335. I'm very happy with the transmission which is very fast shifting and solid, and i do not feel bored ever while i'm driving it. That being said, i only DD This car and never take it to cruise or joyride, and if you've always had your sports car being a manual, you will probably miss it. IMO the Z isn't powerful enough where you should be getting one transmission over the over because of speed or 1/4 mile times. Its great that people who prefer auto now no longer have to settle for a worse transmission. However if you have always had MT sports cars you'll miss driving stick, its simple as that. It seems like you prefer manual, and if i were you i wouldn't get auto just to get a few tenths faster in the 1/4 mile, since it seems like that is the only reason you'd be doing so.
