Actually, I don't really know how paddle shifters work. Do you give it a shot of gas and then hit the paddle or what? Please explain. You have one paddle for upshifts and another for downshifts?

Electromechanical units. They are by all definitions mechanical transmissions, but they are controlled electronically. The best of all worlds from a racing perspective.

the clutch is controlled by a computer with a stepper motor that does the work your left foot would do.
The Audi system (DSG) might actually be better - it makes its way to the upcoming Porsche 997 Turbo from their smaller cars (A3 for example).
