Default automatic shifters

I notice a lot of new automotive companies have been adding the semi-automatic shifters to make their cars a little more sportier. I always thought that automatic shifters were cool because you don't have what some people think of the hassle of having a clutch and also thats what they use at the drag strip. Companies such as hurst and b&m are known for theirs. Does anybody have one installed on their corvette and are you happy with it? Do you recommend getting one? (if not, why?) :steering:

Do not worry about them, they just do not know any better ;) An A4 with over 450+ rwhp and a high stall converter is extriemely fun to drive :)
