Nissan 370Z Forum  

maybe a stupid move?

Most modders I know actually go for the auto over the manual. But I just can't stand to drive an auto, there is nothing like having a clutch and shifter.

I've disliked the paddle shifters in every car I've ever driven with them. They are semi-MT for the AT, while, the SRM is semi-AT for the MT. IMO, SRM is the perfect marry for those who prefer MT but like the ease of an AT, say in rush hour traffic (of course, SRM is really designed more for track - *edit* maybe not "designed". What I meant is maximum utilization of SRM is achieved at the track, not street).
