After driving the S2000 and a few Porsches I'm forever spoiled when it comes to the shift department.

I will say that while the Z is clunky, it's not as bad as many people try to say it is. Just like the MT82 in the Mustang, you need to take your time with it. Treat the transmission like a lady and it will reward you.

Now some of the old Tremec transmissions I've had could be bitch slapped around and they loved every minute of it.
