looks nice, but i dont really understand how paddle shifters work. i mean, you really dont have to step on the clutch anymore? and how do you shift into neutral?

For some cars I think Neutral is pressing both left and ride paddles for neutral and reverse is left(down) while in neutral. Or theres sometimes a gear lever and you select like D,N,R and P just depends on car.

Yeah, bad ass. The S2000 is a great candidate for paddle shifters, IMHO. Don't get me wrong though, I still love the traditional shifter too.

Anyone have more info?

Very very cool...

Eventhough the traditional tranny is the best in class, I really thought Honda made a poor decision not having F1 style paddle shift on the s2k from the start. The engine begs to be kept in it's peak power range which requires lots of shifting to accomplish.
