The paddle shifters on the Z 7AT are there to "simulate" that type of technology with a conventional torque converter automatic. It's not the same thing, so don't compare it to dual clutch transmissions.
Just because the tech is different does not change the result (faster shifts than one can pull off in a manual). I get instant upshifts and downshifts as well.
