I am sick of people who really don't understand semi automatic trans with paddle shifters ala F1, ragging on them.
You all need to go out and study these transmissions . These things are bad ass and shift like a manual without a clutch pedal.
Tap the paddle forward or upward gear up tap it downward or back gear down. Thats just sick and much the way motorcycle shifters work. Now If your that stuck in the past, as to not realize the beauty and dopeness of a system like that, then you don't deserve the right to own or drive a super car. As nearly all of them are coming setup up this way these days.
As far as I am concerned I would love nothing more than to have the shifter at my fingertips as I am driving to make the shifting that much quicker and the driving experience that much more concentrated.
