Oh yeah, and they probably don't drive wimpy import V6's either. So if your Z is how you define your manhood, you were in trouble long before you decided on a transmission.

You want the auto day today or when you are at the strip, but you bought an enthusiast car and didn't order the option that is the most fun, 2 grand cheaper, and you don't need to throw $6k at to get it to hold 500hp.

Edit: everyone who does a forced induction or track build on an auto gets to sit there and wonder how much power and abuse will it take before it goes to **** an needs to be sent to a dealer to replace because the tcm is coded to the ecu, and wont work in another car, and is inside the transmission.
The manhood arguement! Who's going to mention the 7at is marginally faster?

Besides we all know real men drive automatic V8s. They're also poor so they get no options.
