Love the Paddle Shifters

The paddles on a Z dont rotate with the wheel? WTF? Even on my car they do. How do you shift in a turn????

Paddles that rotate with the wheel are horrible. Shifting in a turn is very easy the paddles are very large.

Lol.. shift in a turn??? HAIL THE DK You must drift every time you take a corner,

Paddles cover in the middle of 1/2 oclock to and 4/5 oclock. There's a lot of room 4 play You just get used having one of your hands at 9 and three. I really don't see the big deal.

Lastly I don't recommend shifting in the axis of a turn unless your goal is to either slide or cut power, depending which way you shift

It's not perplexing to press the clutch and the brake clutch and brake together. Why so hard to manipulate the steering and it a paddle that runs in line with the steering wheel?

Good Lord, guys making it out like Im going in sideways, Fast & Furious style. LOL. Im being generous with the throttle through a right turn as the car upshifts. Sometimes I let the auto do it, sometimes I use the paddles. All I was syaing is Im simply USED to having the paddles come with me on the wheel when I turn. Itd be awkward for me NOT to have them turn but Im sure id get used to it. No where near as much fun as a manual though, paddles, no paddles.
