I've never understood why people compare their auto boxes with a torque converter to twin clutch, pdk or smg type gearboxes. There's very few points of comparison beyond the paddles. The high end boxes have clutches controlled by computers, not torque converters. That's a huge difference. Buy the auto if you want to. There's nothing wrong with it. The Z has a great auto. But don't kid yourself into thinking it's in any way related to the paddle shift gearboxes in Ferraris, Lambos, GTRs, Porsche, etc.
