Mazda 6mt in the rx8 and miata?

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

So, to be fair, transmissions are very subjective, and I respect that...just seems like a bold statement with no backing.
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...
