Much faster than anyone could shift a manual. The bonus is it will hold the gear until you tap the paddle or shifter to grab the next gear.
I have a 2009 Challenger that's got a built motor, blower, etc making 600RWHP. In THAT car I had to have the manual trans. The autos in the Challenger are no where near as good as these Z transmissions are. Having said that, my manual Challenger is almost exactly .5 slower in ET at the quarter mile than an identically built/weight/etc automatic car and I can shift.

 , and my 370z is not my daily driver, and i ordered mine while Japan as a country and Nissan were recovering from that horrible Tsunami, around the time i met my boy Kenchan here on the forum (Kenchan really helped me by letting me know to drive my girl vanity first before changing around my suspension). I enjoy driving cars with the paddles more (supercars too), plus with the 7AT you get the option of the shifter or the paddles something that's rare on any automatic transmission regardless of the manufacturer, shift speed is on point with other pricier transmissions available from other manufacturers too! Bottom line, enjoy what your driving life is short!
