How come My Z doesn't have the button to make it shift smoother?

Google 'Heel and toe' driving. It's a more involving way to drive a manual transmission, and essential if you want to be smooth on a track.

I've only had my Z for a little over a week and quit using the syncrorev real quick. Takes all the fun out of downshifting a manual. It might be better at the track, but I'm so used to blipping the throttle with the side of my foot, I found the computer and I were fighting each other. Another reason I would never want a paddle shifter. Someone told me that Porsche will soon not offer a real manual...sad. Come to think of it, I'm not sure Ferrari offers a stick anymore.

^THIS^ 100%

I can drive the hell outta MT but manual mode on AT is like walking and chewing bubble gum at the same time - I wind up with my foot stuck to my elbow.
