Dude you drive a Z....relax. Yeah...auto..you're gonna get flamed time to time...but you got a car that you wanted. One day you're gonna roll with your friend and he's gonna misshift or do something stupid..and you're gonna be like..."HA HA sucka!"

People buy what they want. You bought a car with a automatic transmission. This is BS.

The part of me that enjoys driving would have never let me sign the paperwork on an automatic Z.

I can understand that. The REV-UP engine is a lot more FUN (and 06 ATs aren't REVUPs, only 06 MTs are). Hmmm... which would make the cars everything BUT "exact same"

Today I drove my friends exact same 2006 Z Eth. 6MT and I must say I hate my AT

You can get a shift boot that makes it look like a manual. There's this guy on the G35 boards with a fake clutch pedal on his auto G35c.

Trade it in your z and get a real one.

I can't even imagine driving an Auto Z....or any sports car.

You DRIVE a car with a manual transmission. You RIDE in a car with an automatic transmission.
