Under what set of criteria?

maybe features? both rev-match during downshift, AT has paddles that are stationary to the steering column, locking tc gear 2-6... MT has pretty slick gates, not wobbly not notchy, agressive gearing which we like.

trans are the best trans in any car that cost under 40k

Have you driven both Mitsubishi EVO MR/GSR? I would say mitsu kills us on tranny performance.
BMW 135DCT it would cost about 44k but its so close to 43k and feels awesome. 6mt 135l128/328?
Mazda 6mt in the rx8 and miata?

The Z is EXCELLENT. In the top 5 but not the best.

If the criteria is technology, sure, the 6MT has some neat rev-matching...but by that standard, the 7AT has a tough time against the EVO's DCT, or the DCT in the 135i....

If you go on anything else, you might subjectively say that you like the transmissions, but it is a pretty bold assertion to say they are the best under 40K...with no backing...
