I have a friend and he does have a RX8 with those paddle shifters, It sucks, a lot, but that's on the RX8!! This shifter is a lot faster, just like the VW's and Ferraris I'm pretty sure!! And one of the reasons why the mazda sucks it's cuz the auto version with the shifter behind the wheel is 40hp short compared to the stick!!

umm dont you mean souped up lancer? where does galant come into play...
I think now that they offer the stick and auto option they will get more consumers, I doubt we are talking about the tiptronic auto tranny here where after you press to shift it literally takes 1-2 seconds to shift after, I bet its like the bmw, vw, porsche, etc type where it shifts right as you press it...

I think that a 6-speed double clutch transmission is pretty awesome to be throwing in a pretty low end car. For those are aren't familiar with double clutch transmissions, instead of disengaging the clutch in one gear and then engaging the clutch in the next gear, one clutch releases on the first gear while another clutch is engaging the next gear. It's also called seamless shifting. Most F1 (if not all, now) use double clutch transmissions. the ME Twelve uses a double clutch transmission and gets 200ms shift times with a semi-automatic shifter. Plus, you can't have a double clutch in a manual. If Mitsubishi does it right, the semi-automatic double clutch transmission will be much better and more fun than a manual.

the s2k shifter is very good but I definitely wouldn't go as far to suggest "perfect". But i see what you're saying.

The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so fucking temperamental.

But this is off topic, I think the new Lancer Evo is gonna be a hit!
