What do you own - Auto or Manual?
LOL at this thread.
The facts are this. America loves Automatic vehicles and always has. In England no one drives autos and it shows because you never see a debate like this.
It is so funny to see all the MT fanboys who have just discovered how to dip a clutch and then hate on AT drivers.
Just drive what you wanna drive and let other people do the same.

The only thing I don't like is that because of the auto version there are too many Zs around my area. People don't stare much anymore.

They satisfied the people who can't drive manual as well as the enthusiasts.

True the Z was definitely built for an American market so Nissan would have had to be complete blithering idiots not to build an auto version.
Hmmmm...The manual is MUCH more powerful???

For the record, My ZO6 is an auto and I enjoy it quite nicely.

I bet you would enjoy it quite more if it was stick. Or at least a majority of Z06 owners.

And you can throw around this term, "true sports car" all you want, but you are ignoring the FACT that an AT 350Z is just as much as sports car as your MT.

It's none of your business to wonder why they drive what they do and certainly not in your job description to attempt to convince otherwise.

Unfortunately, the Z is also a show car as much of a performance car so Nissan had to make an AT.
The Z's that are for show only are NOT anything like Z's for performance. And I bet you those show Z's are all autos.

I've said it before so don't tell me I'm changing my argument.

yes, my argument is a TRUE sports car should be auto minus the highly upgraded ATs. I've said this in another thread as well.
