Pretty much sums it up, the ZF is crazy in a straight line and easier to get off the line but if you like to have full control of your car then you never feel comfortable with it. Both gearboxes have their pros and cons basically just boils down to do you want something that is quick and wanna hit the strip but with more concern it could break or something that will get done by cars with less power but is heaps of fun to drive and with an upgraded clutch is basically bulletproof? Also yeah you don't realize how often you skip gears until your actually able to. EDIT: Oh and if it's your daily and you cop allot of traffic on the way to work, auto is the go
