Pontiac Solstice Forum - View Single Post - Paddle Shifters?? Is anyone planning on making them?

Here's the deal on the paddle shifters we see in cars today, they are still an automatic transmission, they are not a true paddle shift that you would see in say a Formula 1 car. Most people want a manual transmission to get the extra performance and control. If you have these paddle shifters its no different than shifting your automatic from 1 2 3 D. And if you push it to hard the tranny will take over and shift for you.

At least that's my understanding of what is out there now.
My 2 cents.
