 7AT Mufucka!  I had the guy at the dealership try to use the paddles for a test drive with me in the Z, and he couldnt shift at all. He got the award for the biggest loser in my book, he earned that.

I was recently driving a 370Z 7AT at COTA, and those paddle shifters threw me off completely. Since I drive a 6MT and have zero prior paddle experience, a lot of my focus was on the paddles themselves and not my lines. I was only in the 7AT for a few laps and was never truly comfortable. When I got in a MT (I got to drive my own Z as well as a stock Nismo Z), I felt completely at home immediately. My focus was on the appropriate racing elements and not the driving fundamentals of using paddle shifters. This was just my recent experience  With more practice, I'm sure they would be a natural to me as the clutch pedal and stick shift are now.I tried to practice using my wife's ILX, but even in manual sport mode it won't let you sit up in the power band for an extended period of time, upshifting within a few seconds if you're not goosing the throttle
