Automatic w/Paddle Shifters

^^^ while i agree with you onn the AT being a good gear box the AT in the Z is nothing like the AT in a lambo. It is all in the torque converter. But with that said my 7AT G will out shift a 6MT driver unless you are a pro.

Oh don't get me wrong, I wasn't saying that those companies are using the same technology, I was just saying that dual clutch transmissions are not the jokes that they use to be, and that they are becoming the industry standard.

the reason im getting the z is because of stick driving fun but now im second guessing .

I'll be hopping on the 7AT bandwagon unless it's slower than a 6MT and adds a considerable amount of weight. I've gotten over manuals. My TL-S paddle shifters still provide a lot of fun and they probably aren't as fast as the ones that will come on the Z. Plus life is so much better with an AT in the end...
