Nothing more satisfying to the driving enthusiast than a well executed h&t downshift!  Where 1/10 or 1/00th of a second count on a track, paddles made sense, as do anything that give an edge. As for road use, it's all BS.  They are nothing more than toys to make less than great drivers think they are race car drivers!  All they do, is instill a false sense of security in those lacking talent, and encourages them to do things in cars, they have no right to be doing!

Sorry if that's a bit harsh, but if you can't drive, paddles won't make you quick.  Changing a gear quick is one thing, but so is the proper line, braking point, turn in point, etc.  Paddles won't make up for a lack of skill in those areas, it will just make you fast at times you shouldn't be.

To many cars are being built today that are telling the drivers, "you're great", and not enough fellow car enthusiasts are telling their friends, "you SUCK", take it easy and get some proper stick time in!!

Or F5000....hell bring back Can Am for some real BHP and driving.

This traction control, ABS and paddle shifting is for wimps anyways.

There's ABS in racing??

As for street use, it's ok.

Agree with traction control and paddles....I will never consider myself a great driver until I can click through some quality heel & toe downshifts at the track.
