U guys act like your crap slap manuals are the same manuals used in racing. Lol.
No, its a stripped crapped cheapened version of a true racing manual. Why not just ask nissan for a car with no tranny and build a true racing manual?

So in the end, its preference. And snyde comments like yours can go both ways.
1 to grow on.

I LUV THE 7AT!

Are you serious? Formula 1 cars DO not use the same manual we have in our cars... the Manual trans of the modern sports car is as evolved as it will get ... cheap or not... The auto however is not - granted the tq converter on the Z is really good - which is what allows for some of those quick shifts... But to compare either to a sequential manual is just retarded...

I am sure you love your A7 - but dont fool yourself -> any good manual driver will be able to shift MUCH faster than you ever can with the Zs auto... but most pro manual drivers will not be 1/2 as fast as a formula 1 shifter...
