I don't even realize i'm shifting most of the time.


But i would notice if i had no *****, just not willing to give up my *****, mancard etc etc.

 

you probably live around flat roads.

 

Cool thanks for the input guys,
and about the transmission thing.. Every car ive owned has been a manual and I love it, but I honestly think Ill be fine with an automatic. Im still in the market looking around! Thanks for clearing up the color issue

 

Skip the auto. Tons of 6mt Z's out there for sale so just be patient and keep looking. Youll find a better deal if you just stay patient and hold out. You dont wanna regret a 14k $ mistake. Good luck!

 

I've been driving a 6mt car for a while and got the Z with auto.

Plenty of punch and low end, mine has the tiptronic.

Its a little less involved ride with the auto but very much more comfortable.

 

Way to stay on topic fellas

LOL

 

Most of the users on this forum f'd up when they didn't get Chrome Silver

And why do people say "but I have tiptronic". I thought all ATs were shiftable automatic?

 

x2

i personally prefer a manual for a Z but to each their own.. but depending on you're needs you may be much more happy with an auto . i geuss alot of the members like to have the true sports car feel when driving so an auto to them is pointless

anyway, you should decide that before anything.. even if it is a good deal you dont want to regret not buying one with the transmission you would really prefer.

 

I hate it when people say that. "I have tiptronic". No, fool, Audis and Porsches have tiptronic, Porsche created the term. Nissan calls it "manual mode".

Edit: Wtf? Is it me or is everybody's quotes just a bunch of boxes? :|

 

Having driven MTs for 10 years, getting a Z in an AT was wat I wanted. I love the control of a MT, but my AT scoots just fiiiiiine. Shifts smooth as hell and the Manual Mode is nice the have when the time is right. I lvoe them both and to each their own. All I can say is that the AT jumps off a line like a champ!

 

like most who love 6mt do i had a good deal on the yellow one at that time but i needed that clutch and the joy of shifting dont make that same mistake if u love the true sports feeling

 

i have a 05 Ultra Yellow touring sitting in my garage so YES they do come in that color but was only limited to that year.

BTW, I have an auto and use to be a strong believer of MT only... and to be honest i really don't care. its actually fun not worrying to much about a miss shift while messing with some little kids riced up Honda and looking like a dumb a**.

+ theres a huge difference between what people tend to think of automatic and whats automatic on sports cars now and days. Otherwise true sports car manufactures wouldnt even invest money into auto trannys (please don't bash, i know already that theres a HUGE difference with a z and a ferrari)

 

 

I have a yellow 05 6spd roadster gt! I bought it about 6 months ago am gona check the msrp and vin since i work at a nissan dealership most likely i can check if its the anniversary edition. Mine has the brembo brakes, any one know if thats part of the anniversary edition???

 

35th anniversary edition does have the Brembo's and silver plate on the console with the chassis number, though the roadster is not included. The yellow color paint was available if you paid extra $$$$
