The G has paddles. Wasn't aware there was a difference between the regular G and the S. Off course I have a MT and it only comes in S |

Only the S has paddles. I owned a G37s right before the Z. Mine was 7AT with paddles. Imho, the standard, G which shifts on the floor has a softer, less torquey, slower shift. The paddle G is quicker and feels better. But doesn't feel as torquey as he Z in first second and third gear. The Z just feels more aggressive when driven hard.

So how come nobody whines about SRM? Automation seeping into the manual world.
I love SRM. It was the deciding factor on purchasing the Z with the 6MT. Other than it's gorgeous, felt like race car getting into it (to me anyway) and had more go than anything I had driven in the last 30 years. But if it had not been for SRM, I probably would have bought an auto.

I didn't care for the SRM much but only played with it for the test drive. I do like the satisfaction of perfect shifting. Seems like SRM would take away some of that fun

I never use the SRM. I've been heel and toeing for so long I just do it automatically so when I had the SRM on the revs were all over the place because the car and I were both trying to match revs. In any case, it is one of those gizmos that I would gladly do without. My only gripe about the Z is that it is way too heavy. I would love to see the next Z have the same HP but have the lightness of a Miata or BRZ. Our weight is getting close to muscle car territory.

Doesn't every AT? My wife's Acura has paddle shifters. If you downshift, it rev matches.
