the z has the same horsepower in every gear,will it be any difference manual or auto.

 

what kind of difference r u meaning? they is always a difference in manual to auto

 

Dude.. Unless you're a 16 year girl, get a stick. End of story.

 

this thread is a joke right?

 

Do a google search for Horsepower 101. Learn the different ways to measure horsepower, and how the drive train can affect measurements.

 

Congrats, you made my signature, feel proud!

How old are you?

 

 

Actually i believe that would be different if you were to compare an 06 auto to standard due to the autos lower hp yet higher torque and the manuals higher hp yet lower tq. Yet you need to clarify!

The difference between manual and auto is one you have to shift and the other you don't? From what I know manual has more hp than auto. manual has 300 hp and auto is 287. And yes, auto in 06 has more TQ than manual.

 

ones made for handicaped people and ones for people with all their appentages

 

Get the stick... Unless you want a decent tranny that wont fail & good 1/4 mile times.

 

i just hate the everyday traffic in nyc.

 

If you get automatic dont buy a sports car.. buy a Scion Xb or whatever..

i mean what im driving now is a vtec prelude the vtec engine need to have the stickshift to get the vtec to kick in.

 

haha man you need to invest in a flame suit if your going to post stuff like you are. The gearing is different. If you raced two stock Z's, one auto and one stick...stick will win. If your about to get a Z. I would highly reccomend stick. Ive driven an auto Z, and its not as enjoyable as the 6mt(stick)

 

Veeeetack!!

 

you never know on this forum

 

The Z's have variable valve timing (kicks in around 4k rpms) and it works with both manual and auto. Drive them both, get what you want.

 

Considering most M/T Z drivers can't shift worth a crap, I would debate your claim. You'll never hear an A/T driver whine that the reason a race was lost because a shift was missed.

And shall we discuss the pitiful durability of the Z M/T transmission? Or is the transmission actually good, but due to the Z driver horrendous shifting habits tear it up?

Here's a thought, be satisfied with the ***** size God gave ya and not try to compensate with a m/t. Drive what ya like and realize what someone else chooses is none of your concern. For those that say a/t drivers shouldn't have a Z, I ask you this... I brought my a/t brand new, free and clear. How many of you have no payments? Using the logic some of you display, those who make car payments on their Z should have bought a used metro instead. I think I can drive what I wish.

Good day now...
