I worked in LA for years and drove a stick everyday. The only reason you need an AT is if you need to put your makeup on in the car on your way in. Dont be a little girl!
Okay everyone, let's stop dragging our hairy knuckles on the ground.

stick is rice... Z is slow... real race cars don't have AC, radio or ABS so don't rice it up by thinking you are cool with a stick
But seriously if you drive stick and have to brag about it get over yourself its not like it takes a PhD and a large package to pull it off, obviously tons of douche bags pull it off everyday.

Anyone can figure out how to drive a manual within a few days, its not hard at all. Its about as hard as drag racing with an automatic. It does take some skill to pull off a good time in a manual car. I'm not going to even mention auto-x or racing on a real track and why the auto sucks there. Honestly i dont really give a **** about the performance of either transmission, whether not one is faster than the other. The whole point of a sports car is its impracticality and feeling like you're one with the road. There is nothing more satisfying than rowing through the gears on a back road or doing it on a track. Buying an automatic in a sports car is a sin, its just wrong. If you want something comfortable to drive around town in because you have to deal with traffic or whatever bs excuse you have, buy something like a g35 or a acura tl. I dont want to hear the bs excuse that nissan put it in the car for a reason either. That reason is to sell more cars to make more profit, not because the z is a car to be had with an automatic.
