I thought that was part of the contract you signed when you bought a Z!

Are you suggesting that we could change the transmision or getting a different car with these transmissions? Isn't the DSG a Audi (German??) thing?

No, those transmission are compatible with the Z. I was just trying to say that you might like those transmissions because they use a plate clutch instead of a torque converter and clutch pack like the tiptronic-type transmissions. By no means would I want you to get rid of your Z if you are happy with it.
