I fell that a lot of people think just because they can use their left foot to mash a clutch that makes them race car drivers...get over it! "Control" my @$$, you can have all the control you want in manual mode 7AT.
I dont see a clutch pedal in an F1 car! Why? Because a computer can work it out a lot better than your average F1 driver. So if you think pressing a pedal makes you a super driver...............grow up! It's all down to choice.

Ugh, more MT bashing.

Ok, I'm going to explain the difference here.

Some people like driving with a manual gear box.

Some people like driving with an auto gear box.

Z's are great cars either way.

Drive what you like.

If you want to argue about it, just wait around on here, because every other f*cking thread about transmissions will eventually devolve in to a hissy fit fighting match about whose e-pee-pee is bigger. This debate is older than the internet, and there are no winners, only aholes.

Actually F1 cars do have a manual clutch but only for launching in 1st gear, i.e. the start and leaving the pits. It isn't a pedal but rather a hand operated paddle clutch. They probably wouldn't need it anymore if launch control was allowed back into F1.
