I like shifting like the next guy, but if a great paddle shifter would make me faster, or make me a better drive, screw it, they can have the floor shifter.
Pro-Touring is about Technology (ie Paddle Shifter). Nostalgia is about doing things the "old" or "original" way.
If a good Paddle shifter is available and you have the $$$ for it, and you don't want it because you prefer the technolgy of the last century, why do you update anything else on your car?
Go back to the Bias Ply Tires, crummy handling, and poor performance of the last century.
The Good old days regarding Technology, Aren't!!
Now the design features and the lines of the cars, well that's another thing. Who wants to drive a damn Jelly Bean.

They say that you could never shift as fast as the unit will shift, they are doing video test on it now to prove this and will have it out soon. It is the coolest up grade for the fact that most people will see the clutch and no stick and wont understand it. Like you said new technology is what these cars are all about and this should be hot.
