I don't want any interference, I want it to shift up or down only when I do it. Is that possible in the Z, or do I need to stick w/ the 6AT? I know with the DSG cars, it only shifts when you tell it to, other than going back into first when you come to a stop.

Thanks.
Based on the reviews I have read, the car will not shift unless you tell it too. My TL-S will shift only if I keep bouncing off the rev limiter for a few seconds. I gotta say the paddle shifters have an awesome feel to them.
