Default I have a 350z 04' touring package-AUTOMATIC

My friends are making fun of me because I didn't get a 6 speed. So I would like to shut them up. Does anyone know what's the first thing I need to put into my car to make a difference?
Thanks, George

Welcome.

Your first step is drop your immature friends and associate yourself with grownups.

valve body upgrade I hear works wonders. Dont know if it will make too much of a difference on NA though.

They're probably just jealous because you have a nicer car, and the only thing they can make fun of is the fact that you have an AT.

Yeah they don't own a nice car like the 350Z so they mock you. I've been there plenty of times. This Nov 2nd is my 4th anniversary for the Z. Still love it.

Its all good man, my friends didnt mock me for having a auto, but said the manual would be better. Of course, none of them drive a manual, or anything as fast as mine. I prefer the auto to be honest because I get lazy sometimes and just feel like cruising, but then I want to be able to have a manual when Im in the mood, hence the 350z 5AT. Be happy man, you own your friends cars, and you dont even need a manual or have to work hard to do it. Simple as that.

Well, you can put a roll of duct tape in the car, and when they start talking, a few layers around the mouth and head should do the trick (avoid over doing it though, as you might choke the hell out of them and kill them.)

Not in your car, but a sock (preferable a filthy one) stuffed deep into their collective mouths.

Drop your friends. Then buy a manual also. That way you'll have the best of both worlds, .

Stop worrying about what other people think. People will respect you more. This will apply to so many other aspects of life too.

Good luck.
