Default 2008 350z auto Enthusiast

Hello,
Iam planning to buy a 2008 350Z auto Enthusiast, how fast are these automatic 0-60mph and 1/4 miles time for a bone stock. Is there is a big difference from the manuel 6 speeds.

0-60 on the car I tested (bone stock) was 5.2 seconds. Quarter mile came in at 13.7 and just over 100mph. The difference between manual and auto is the driver.

That having been said... epic loss

If your having second thoughts of getting an auto, then get the 6spd. I know so many people who bought an auto knowing deep down they want a manual n ended up wasting $ for either a swap or trade lol. People who are satisfied with their auto Z KNOW they want an auto from the start no questions asked

IMO...., the auto tranny is for people that want to roll a z car.

If you are really into driving and want complete control. Scrap that auto for the manual and rest easier knowing that you can grow into really becoming a driver, not just a roller.

Can't go wrong with the z if all you want are cool points.

You just lose so much precision when opting for the automatic.
Even more logic needed? The manual gets better mpg.

Get the manual. You're going to spend $30,000 on a sports car and get an automatic? I'm missing the point. Just my opinion.

The only reason why anyone would think of getting an auto z is lack of the ability to drive a mt. It just so happened that, statistically, more of the female gender lack this skill. Perhaps she is a girl....

Welcome noob. There are more than enough threads on Manual vs Auto. Search this forum as well as the Drag forum and you'll find your answer.
