Changing gears fast is just one factor, being efficient is where automatics really suck. No matter how you cut it, the bottom line is in slush boxes there are no direct mechanical link between the engine side and the wheel side, just a viscous fluid, -hence the term 'slush' box. So no matter how Merc marketing spins it, it is never going to be as good a manual or SMG or a DSG. How many race cars - including Merc- do you know that have a "slush box"? So if AMG is really serious about performance, get a manual tranny.
