No confusion here about the torque converter, my reference was metaphorical not literal. Automatics customarily suffer from a soft or disconnected feel between the engine and the drive wheels, this is typically the result of the amount of "slop" built into the torque converter and the choices made in the programming of the gear selections. The 7AT seems to be optimized for the sporting driver with a "tight" (lock-up sequence) converter and a gear box program and design that highlights the sporting nature of the Z. The 7AT may or may not be for everyone but it is for sure a sports car.
