Even more, why would the auto need that since it has paddles to initiate the shifts yourself?

there are a few places that have DBW modules that sharpen response. i want to say skunk2 makes one for civics, but don't quote me on that...
the picture of the manual trans car might be misleading. hard to judge pedal spacing with no real frame of reference. i'm sure they're just fine for heel-toeing.

on a serious note, on most toyotas, they use a "load device" like a throttle position sensor or the mass air flow meter to detect when to shift. and this was a response to snaps comment. |

Supra had both this, and the kickdown switch. As I said in the first part of this post, I think the kickdown switch was a way to communicate to the driver that a switch had been pressed. This would be more noticeable to a person than just reaching a specific throttle point on the accelerator pedal travel.
