Shifting is ****in sexy, having a car drive for you is not....auto trans are not meant for sports cars but for luxury cars, its ok if your a girl though, most are going for appeal than pure racing. But yes it does get frustrating in stalled traffic but then again everyone has their own opinion and yeah its worth it to me to shift and have total control of my car

Point hopefully taken if not fuc it i still love my car.
I see you can't read either noob. It wasn't me that said you totaled your car cuz you don't know how to drive a 5AT.

Girls and "Girly Guys" drive AT's

Guys and "Real Men" drive MT's.

How's that for stimulating a discussion?

Go at it whoever wants to...

Very stupid discussion that is done way too many times...

Okay its over *** and i know it wasnt you "auto total car" i was referring to the other *$% auto owner, but theres one thing saving you , just keep ur windows tinted and up and no one will even know.

THis thread is old and been over way too much. Its more like a fact than a discussion.

Woke up cranky I see. This thread isn't that old, but this subject has been talked about for years. Notice that I have not been calling you names (like douchette, *** etc) It's not necessary since you are coming across like a fool anyway. You don't get that I don't care if you have a MT or not. We get the tranny that best suits our needs. A 6MT doesn't make your dick any bigger.
Normally I don't waste this much time on a teenager, but you are kind of entertaining.

My only words in that post were: Just a little news for you. This is the new Skyline.

The reality is that hot cars are going to automatic LIKE trannies. I like 6MT's, I just can't commute with one.
That seemed to be what you were implying to me but now it seems like you saying: "Hey the new Skyline is auto and thats cool, so I guess my Z's auto is cool too".

Implyiing??? The reading comprehension in this thread sucks. I don't care what people think of my 5AT, it's what I need to commute in. I don't think it is cool or uncool. I also race it though and it works well for me there too. The comments that you are not manly unless you "row" your Z are just from insecure males that wish they had bigger dicks. The reality is that fast cars are going to an auto like tranny. Like it or not that is what is happening. I like early flathead ford motors too, but that isn't what people are using to race with these days. They won't be racing floor shift MT's either.

One of the other "educated" comments "manumatic tiptonic tranny" What the hell is that? The 5AT just has a manual mode, but it is an auto.
BTW I don't miss shifts when I race.

.

People have their own personal reasons why they decided on a 6MT or 5AT and I respect that, but it's really stupid for some people to justify their purchase of a 5AT by comparing it to advanced "autos" in higher end sports cars.

I DD my 6MT in probably one of the toughest regions in this country, and I don't ***** about how hard it is.

Dude I wasn't bashing and my reading comprehension is just fine thank you, this is a forum not a novel misinterpretation of posts is very common and especially here. You can drive and race whatever you want, I simply thought you meant the auto tranny in the Z was the same or similar to the new Skyline tranny. And WTF is a "manumatic tiptonic tranny"? lol

Default fowl mans my hero

Fowl man you WIN you rule in your Automatic Z and chicks dig you. And im sure you get all the respect from the boys when you go to the track with that awesome automatic mean machine.

id rather miss my shifts in my 6mt than be on a race track in my little more than stock auto 350z, But IF you cant shift right you prob shouldnt be on a race track anyways. But you do win my manly friend.

ANd wtf does your profile say exhibition poultry.. GOD YOUR awesome,please come down here to miami and lets get chicks together.lolol.
