Because it doesn't. It only fluid couples in 1st gear. 2-7 are solid connections with locking piston.

Its something called technology. Lol. These traditional parts are being designed to work harder and perform in the extreme. Things are changing bruh.

Either that or the 6MT is just inefficient

So what you're saying is 7AT > 6MT

So when the cameras come off, the mustang and the Porsche gang up on the Z and throw it off the desk. You sir are a Z hater

Traditional autos have terrible drive train losses because they don't make solid connections between the engine and trans (i.e., fluid coupling); the 7AT on the Z has full lock-up (i.e., a solid connection between the motor and trans) from 2-7, so drive train losses are equivalent to the MT.
