Default Sell my ZR for a coupe?

so ive been thinking about selling my 05 silverstone ZR(auto) and buying a used manual coupe. My ZR only has about 12,000 miles on it. Any advice on the matter?

The 350Z coupe with a manual transmission is a different car. Not necessarily better just different. Drive one. If you like it - buy it.

ya they definatly have a diffrent feel, the 6mt roadster is way better
Unless you plan on taking it to the track then the 6mt coupe is the way to go...

Ditch the auto tranny for sure! Any reason you aren't feeling the ZR anymore itself?? Is it JUST the fact that it's AT??

I have a 6MT coupe and am thinking about moving to the ZR with 6MT in the next year or 2.

the 6mt coupe feels like a rocket bc your enclosed. I dont know about having a soft top. When its up it looks kinda gey...when down its super sexy tho. thats personal opinion.

Well, if you haven't been driving with the top down too much and you're not in heavy traffic for 70% of the time... Why wouldn't you get a nice MT coupe?

+1, is it because of the AT vs manual?

Do you plan on racing the Z at the track? If not I really can't see why you would want to change... Being you just bought it I would hold on to the ZR until late 2008 when the new 350z comes out then buy a coupe at that time, would make more sense financially...
