Whipping paddles versus Manual

I have whipped both my manual S2000 and my dads Paddle E46 M3 today, and I think they both have their merits. With the paddles I'm more comfortable going faster since I don't have to rely on both feet to not stall the car. With the manual I feel more part of the experience. Any else agree with me?

I'd say that's about right. With paddles you can pay attention to going harder, in a way, even if it's not as fun.

I love manual all day. I don't have anything against the paddles, but i think its not fair that supercars are stoping making manuals. Cheers to Lewis Hamilton for requesting his Zonda with a manual gearbox.

Hence why the GTR blitzes the ring and every track even in amateur hands I believe

Both great cars, but its hard to stall an S2000. Especially after its rolling. If the M3 manual felt as good as the S2000's I wouldn't have gotten an SMG.

I think Lewis hamilton is the only person who is qualified to whip a zonda at 10/10ths with a stick haha

When in doubt, both feet in. Easy as that, well that is assuming you don't hit a wall or a car or something else.

I've only stalled a few times forgetting that I was in gear when pulling to a stop but it isn't too hard to not stall.
