who cares what transmission it has it still a Z right? cant we all just be friends?

 

Most ladies that drive this car would go with the AT. Understandable and not a knock to the ladies here. But this is a true sportscar and MT is the only way to go to get the full thrill. This is the first MT I've had for about 10 years. Both of my ex 300Z's where autos as most of em were built that way.

But MT is great with the 350Zs for sure. Don't you just love that distinct and powerful exhaust note around 5K+? Doesn't have that ricey tin can sound but more like a mini Ferrari sound. I love it...

 

lol...you're really sensitive...do you need a hug?

 

Matthew 18:11 reads: And that AT is a sin. Those that possess it be thrown into the fire of hell.

 

If You Are Building The Z For A Twisty Track, M/t For The Win...
If You Are Building The Z For A 1/4 Mile Track, A/t For The Win...
Mod For Mod On The Street, It Is A Driver's Race.. And Yes, It Is Much Easier To Make A Mistake In The M/t Car...me, I Opted For The Auto, It Has All The Quickness I Need And I Enjoy Having The Heated Leather, Home Link, Power Evrything Etc. Etc... I Also Like Keeping My Hand On My Girlfriends Thigh While Casual Driving. Are There Times I Miss Having A M/t,,sure, But More Often Than Not I Appreciate The Auto.. If I Was Bit Younger And Felt The Need To Zip Around Corners And Speed Around All The Time, I Would Have Bought The M/t Or, If I Was Going To Track The Car ( Twisties )...this Is All Imho....and When I Say Auto For The 1/4 Mile I Refer To Sub 11 Second Cars... It All Depends On What You Want Out Of Your Car, M/t, A/t ? It Should Only Matter To The Person Who Shells Out The Cash For It And What The Want To Do With It.

 

lol I wouldn't be doing the above if I wasnt pressed for time. Now imagine someone doing all that in a manual.

Oh, and sorry to burst your bubble but I haven't been in a single accident which was my fault.

 

It's not an argument. I'm trying to show some of the ignorant people in the forums how an auto DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOUR CAR IS SLOW. I hate people who make biased statements. Read your last comment and read mine. Bore the engine to 4 liter and 9K rev limiter??? where did that come from?

Also, if you think that an F/I AT is only "as fast" as your bone stock MT, I'm sure there are many people in this forum who beg to differ.

Seems like I'm just fueling the fire to this "debate" so this is my last comment in this thread.

 

Wow just wow

 

Lol, don't take it personnal!

I was just quoting your post and then went on a different tangent. It's just funny how often we hear comments about modded cars that can beat a Z (AT or MT), don't you agree?

I don't care if people drive an AT or MT. In fact, some days I don't feel like shifting and just take the Titan.

My own personnal take: my MT preference is all about control. I balance the car in a curve using thottle input. I haven't driven an AT Z. Will it hold a gear with the torque converter locked so we can play with thottle? (It's a question, not a crack at any body BTW)

 

Can't we all just get along

Hmm I wonder if there is a special place in heaven for Z owners.

I'm sure there is a special place in hell for MT Z owners who hate on AT owners lol jk

 

Yes in manual mode you can hold every gear up to the redline (even bounce it off the rev limiter) without it shifting to the next gear. It won't shift until you make it shift. It's actually quite fun.

 

Thanks.

How about off thottle ? Will it still keep the gear and engine-brake ? Most AT would upshift in that situation.

 

Yep it will keep the gear and engine brake. Of course it will downshift automatically to prevent from stalling, ie if your cruising in 5th and get below 35mph it will downshift to 4th and so on for the lower limit of each gear.

 

Gotta try one

 

Definitely one of the best automatics I've ever driven

 

He actually typed the word "brotha" - you give him/her too much credit.

I know, don't let the door hit me in the *** on my way out.

My wife wanted an AT, that's what she got, hence my vote. We had to pay MORE! The MT folks here are almost defensive about their choice/preference - wtf?

 

Die thread die!

 

:O yawn

 

He's talking about the AT in manual mode, not the MT. In manual mode, you can shift the tranny anytime you want and it will stay in that gear until you shift it again. There are a few exceptions. When you come to a stop it will drop back down to 1st. If you are going to stall, it will downshift to the next gear if you don't do it yourself. If you are going to significantly overrev, it will delay or cancel your shift command. The later ATs will even automatically rev-match the downshifts while in manual mode.
