    Any way to convert a manual car to a paddle shift vehicle? Call me crazy and wild and idiotic but, I plan on going to UND for ATC (air traffic control) schooling and when thats all said and done I was planning on buying a high end sports car, Acura NSX, Dodge Viper...etc, but I highly doubt they make automatics for those. So I am trying to search around and find a way to convert a manual car to paddle shift due to me not being able to drive a stick.

    Sorry if you think this is a waste and I will go nowhere with this, but the main question is: Can I convert a manual stick to paddle shift?

        only choice you have is a twin clutch semi manual car like the R35 skyline. By then you will be able to get an automatic C6 vette for a decent price and would be about the best way to go. BTW I may have a turbo automatic for your z laying around if you are interested, just rebuilt

            If it all comes down to it, I may have to try and teach myself how to work a manual. I figured I would just be able to find some kind of kit.

                  why not just adapt whatever auto car you have/want to a paddle shift.... with a standalone tranny controller and paddle shift assembly

                  i think a TCI setup for something like a 4l60 is like 1600 bucks

                  add this to their controller....

                          With the way things are going, every high performance cars will come with paddles.

                                Have you seriously got nothing better to do so you sit there and be a god damn idiot? Shut the fuck up. Havnt you ever thought that at least once...just once, that maybe no one wants to hear what you have to say? Go fucking die for a day.
