Paddles are for boats. Shift it yourself.

Definitely not me

The SMG would most likely shift better & faster than me. However, again, one can always make a fun car go faster, but can't make a fast car become more fun

^ Very true Ks320.

I would refuse to buy an S2000 with anything near a slushbox. I know that living with manual and traffic is a pain in the rear, but if you're a true enthusiast you'll find a way to cope with it.

I think SMG paddle shifters would be pretty nice, actually

not only would the car be faster, but uphill starts would be much more painless and the embarrassing 1-2 shift grind would be a thing of the past

I doubt the car would be any faster.. and up hill starts shouldn't be a problem with practice

No thanks, I enjoy driving with a clutch too much.

I don't think it belongs in this car. Fine the way it is.
