Lets say this about the MT / AT debate

1. With AT you get the same shift time every time and you cant really improve upon it by being a better driver (hardware limited)

2. With MT - its you who are limiting the cars shift speed - so you can do it as fast as the mechanics allow and the human element is often much easier to improve over time. Which is why MOST experienced MT drivers will shift faster than the Zs AT

Easiest way to put an end to this silly debate - Get a MT and AT z on a dyno... shift and watch the curves for which has more delay... obviously we would have to use a "decent" MT driver... but hey - it would be better than my opinions vs yours....

In fact there are two things: science and opinion;
the former begets knowledge and the latter ignorance
