I have a 55 AMG and never use the manual shift cus its too damn slow!! I just leave in 'S' mode and hold on!!

Its a shame Mercedes couldnt do a decent manual shift.
I recently drove a Ferrari 360 Modena and it shifted perfect!! Manual driving with Ferrari paddel was a dream, and the software they use is spot on!!
I suppose I got my hopes too high before I got my hands on my SLK 55 AMG.....
