Best solution so far - for any conventional automatic (and DSG's as well).

The computer does all the rev matching for you

Though I'd still prefer to make the rev match happen myself - once you've got a semblance of timing down it's about as easy as any foot-operated control input gets. I recently drove a family member's new-to-her car that has this feature (also has paddles), and working the floor shifter is the only way I'd ever drive that car or any other AT or DSG car with the same setup. Pedal-operated rev-matching was easily noticeable as being better than the automated going down between the more widely spaced gears (6A).

I wish I had the same shifter in my ZL1, that would be a blast.

I'm sure it can be done somehow, and maybe somebody already has. So much easier these days with only having to re-route a few wires and at most add a couple of switches than it would have been when I first thought about doing something similar (and seeing big difficulties in guaranteeing consistent accuracy in how far a cable or link was pulled/pushed and adjusting for things like cable stretch). Pre-Hurst, actually.
