for me i traded in an 05 350 MT in was fun for awhile but i grew tired of the shifting in traffic. plus the first time i saw the paddle shifters on the 370 i was sold..... the 7AT does not disappoint.... when i'm depressed i just put it in M
mode shift right before redline between each gear and i get a big grin on my face...............

I'm in the majority and drive in the auto for boring driving (city or expressway) and M for the fun twisty stuff. I've done the $2 paddle shifter mod and like the shorter throw. Ofcourse you are never going to get the MT people to admit that both are great trannys but they are. I never have to worry about burning up the clutch or missing a shift. Just hammer down and take off down the road, shift 6 times and your over the speed limit.

Tru that I can hit 65 in 3rd or 4th. I like hitting all the gears real fast. Does anybody have a top speed per gear chart?

Now please post something else because I can't stand seeing your post count at 99. Let's go ahead and make it an even 100 eh?
