If you've got something like an NA V8 you can't beat the manual experience.

I distinctly remember driving someone's BF XR8 with the ZF and thinking this thing really needs a manual box with the characteristics of that engine.

But if it was an XR6T - ZF all the way.
Sorry. Not a fan of ZF.

Kept overriding me in manual mode........hated it frankly as seemed useless compared to a real manual. My Dad's Audi also overrides whenever it feels like it.

No doubt quicker in Auto "leave it alone" form as such a great auto box.

DSGs are great as basically don't interrupt unless necessary. I love mine daily but miss a manual on days off.

Still yeah a manual stick if no traffic existed no doubt.
