Nope because Ferrari's, Lambo's, Nissan GT-R's transmissions are TOTALLY different types of technology. They use twin clutches, instant response to input from the driver's command and instant upshifts and downshifts, complete control like a manual but without the clutch pedal.

The paddle shifters on the Z 7AT are there to "simulate" that type of technology with a conventional torque converter automatic. It's not the same thing, so don't compare it to dual clutch transmissions.
