Because most transmission programming have gotten so good even professional race cars drivers leave it to the cars brains. The paddles have been rendered useless IMO and there are too many gears to keep track of. You can't beat the computer. If you want to do it yourself, manual is the way to go.
True. Also, the 8 ZF isn't really suited for manual mode like the DCT.
It's not?
No, it's not. Not as satisfying in my experience (especially downshifts). That's the biggest downside to the 8ZF in my opinion. Otherwise, it's super.
