Disagree, dual clutch paddles are the tit$ for many reasons, the only GLOWING negative is downshifting multiple gears,i.e. gear skipping with the sequential setups.

So I have been blowing $$$ on the Z and Caddy once again...its good though, some more upgrades in life never hurt.

I too would rather have a true manual.. Again, the dual clutch paddles are better and will make you faster, but it goes back to rather having a drivers car.

Driving a 360 Modena with the paddles versus 6 spd Gated gearbox doesnt make me wonder though why technology finally moved the way of Ferrari. I do like traditional always, but need room for improvements obv in tech too.

Greg, I'm available today if you need help and are still working on the Z in your garage. If you're doing it outside in the cold rain, have fun by yourself! LOL

Yeah, *** this weather indeed, fixed this bogus Scion today and opted for the cold and rain versus pulling the Z into the elements. Of course, there should be an open stall as well but that is a whole other story...moral dead beat friends whose **** you store makes you work in rain.

Hey! Those pics are pretty good. That hood was so easy to work on. I want one now! Damn you Greg!

The spoiler was kinda hard.

Hmm...Par has something I want.
