On what you want. Drive both and then the answer should become rather apparent. You won't know until you do the test drives.

Drive both, you will know the answer based on that driving test. In addition, read the thread "read this before modding your 350Z" at the top of the forums. I wrote it for new Z owners. Enjoy....

I think you should get a manual.

I randomly selected, because no one cares. Drive both, as everyone has said.
I have an AT and I love it, but hell I loved the MT too

I would go with manual but its all up to you. I think its a waste to get a an AT kinda kills it.

Sports cars should ONLY come in manual. Nothing screams "I have a vagina" like driving an automatic sports car.

What about if the "vagina" is sitting on the passenger side?

Not another MT vs AT thread.... There have been tons of these. Do what several guys said already... Go with what you feel you're comfortable with. After all, you're going to be driving your Z, not us.
