And I grew up driving mostly 4 speed automatics to the point I want them to bring it back. It looks like the LC500h is the ticket once I can afford it.
You cannot compare a 4-speed old transmission with ZF 8HP. We are talking about one of the most advanced transmissions available today. For example, Hellcat and Demon also use this transmission among many others. Can you please read the following articles ... with an open mind?
