I was lucky enough to have Luke Youlden take me around Sandown with him driving my 360rwkw F6, you can have your control just like a manual.... only you don't need to push a clutch, compression lock ups using the ZF to slow and feel slide to get through the corners.
You command the gear you want.
Comparing a 4 banger to a ZF 6 speed auto is like comparing technology 20 plus years apart, and that's how much different they feel to drive too...
