While I know this thread should die a peaceful death, I have to say that it got me to goofing around with my 7AT and I was quite surprised. I've had other vehicles with shift-o-matics (mostly large trucks and SUVs) and they seemed a bit gimmicky, apart from use in towing. I found the quasi-manual mode surprising useful for getting a little more control out of the gearbox. It certainly helps making sure one is in the right gear coming out of the corners. Anyway, I still lament not having a 6MT, but maybe a little less now. Moreover, I am still happy as a good fart to have a 370Z.
