Yeah, it cracks me up when people compare a paddle shift automatic with a torque converter, like the Z, with an F1 car. I still like a real manual gearbox....even with it's flaws. I drive everyday in Chicago traffic and still would never consider an automatic. Spend a lot of time in neutral though.
