You are certainly right, 500ms is fast for an automatic and not almost as fast as a DCT, sorry. The DCT in the M3 can do under 100ms and the DCT in the GT-R can do under 250ms. Also I don't know how much experience you have driving manual transmissions, but you press/depress the clutch and change the gear almost simultaneously, it isn't 3 different steps in practice. People who drive aggressively should be able to do this in less than 500 ms...

I'll give you the fact that the auto tranny in the Z isn't bad by automatic transmission standards, but don't think that it is better than a good driver with the manual.
