I have a 7at G37s. I have a VW TDI with DSG. I've ridden in BMW DCT M5 and M3.

IMHO, our 7at is feels ancient, same for the slush box in the previous gen CTS-V. Up shift is decent when being pushed in mid range, but downshift is too slow, and shifting response in general is much slower overall. Under normal driving, it's too laggy and too much hesitation compared to the current offerings. I test drove a 2013 7at 370z and it was a hair bit better, but still no bueno for me. No offense to 7at guys out there, I just feel our 7at shift response is a sour spot compared to DSG and DCT's instantaneous and seemless shifts.
