Auto is fine... I miss auto in LA traffic, but I'll miss my manual if I were to drive my Z on weekends and night times.
Performance wise, it's the same unless you track. You'll see alot of ppl talk big talk about them being so much faster with manual. Get an auto, tell all these "manly man" to race you from stop. Trust me, prob 80% of them will lose to your auto.
And do you want a manual Z or a mad wife for the many years you own your car?

He is "Giving" his wife a say... I respect him for that... he's making it a decision based on mutual respect. Everyone's marriage works differently and I'm sure yours is quite different than his.

Tranmissions arent a huge deal to me. Ive been there and done that. ive had a 11sec Talon and a 12.0xx SRT4, racing days are far behind me.

Two things: Definitely pass up on the 2003 year Z (Too many quality control related issues..others will tell you about this).
Also, negative on the automatic...get the 6 Speed, since that's what you want anyway...be PATIENT and wait for the right Z to come along!

UNLESS, the case is that SHE will be driving the Z sometimes (more of an OUR car vs MY car scenario) . Otherwise, that's some hen-pecked type of bullshyt, son.

Possibly, I try to avoid the sexual history of people im related to...
although you have to admit that its pretty pathetic when a Guy bases his manhood on wheather or not he drives a manual tranmission.... I think my cousins right in that it suggests that he has some seroius sexual insecurities

I'd say buy what you like the manuel is always percieved as the macho choice but as stated earlier in this thread 80% of the time the auto's gonna stuff the manuel off the lights The auto has that option to shift for yourself so best of both worlds. Mine own is an auto and folks always appear disappointed when they see asking the usual "NIce wheels But Chef why the auto" My answer, because it was a great price for a fabulous car and of course there's that option to shift. I'll take those disappointed faces out for a thrape and well hey before you know it (about 100yrds) there's the huge grin and the auto issue is forgotten.... BUY WHAT YOU WANT NOT WHAT YOU THINK OTHER PEOPLE THINK YOU SOULD>>>>

whats that saying about the pot and kettle?
edit:
just so I say something on topic... if you are going to get involved with the Z community expect to take a lot of heat driving an auto so have some thick skin. Most people who drive standards get so used to it they don't even notice in traffic, so I wouldn't let that deter you from giving standard a try.
