I wasn't refering to the car shift up automaticly but it does the whole involvement part I mean pulling on the up shift paddle is nothing compared to clutch and stick.

I have driven both a Lamborghini Gallardo and Ferrari 430 Scuderia so yea I've had some time with real automanuals and yea they are fast but I never felt like I was the one driving the car as well as it wasn't as much of a pure drivers feel as compared to ripping around in a 6 speed S2K. I drove the Evo with paddles too and I just find it makes driving boring to me I don't enjoy it nearly as much

I am of course only speaking in terms of how I feel but no automanual in my opinion compares to the feel of shifting your own gears and the involvement feeling you get from a good ol stick shift.
