Not sure if some of you have missed this, but I have pretty good experience with driving manual. In fact, I still rev match / heel-toe even in city driving. The difference is my Z is not my daily and I rarely run into any traffic at all with that car.

The question is whether the "really good" paddle shift auto is good enough to provide a different driving experience that is also satisfying in its own way.

I've heard of guys swear by the PDK, and say that it's just as satisfying and engaging. While this is no dual clutch, to me the principle / overall experience is similar (outside of slower shift times), no?

Finally, this car would stay mainly stock. My power addition is kept in check with my Z; at 500rwhp and 3,000 lbs, very few cars have come close in even approaching the level of excitement that kind of power causes. I may do a cold air intake and possibly exhaust to improve the sound though. May be some brake mods, depending on how it behaves on the track.
