I completely understand this logic with the 350z but with the g35 sedan at least it floats the line of luxury/sport...with the proper modifications its really a blast to drive yet still hold a more classy sophisticated appeal IMO. If i were to buy a 350z it'll definitely be a manual

That's your choice but IMO if u boost it and really do it up it will be fast and just as legit. not to mention u wont lose any boost between shifts!

No boost loss between shifts is such a gay argument seeing as how autos are still slower than most 6mts. Even after FI. Not to mention you hit a wall being able to hold TQ even built.

so what who cares? is the auto worth modding - sure, go for it and have fun that is the bottom line. nobody's not going to mod because of all the ranting and raving blah blah blah. I think you're a very little person putting people down and need constant ego boosting. your personality disorder is in here: http://www.cracked.com/article_17522...-internet.html grow up, jeez. is this what this forum is all about? oh yeah, it's supposed to be about the cars and it's fans.

A bunch of M/T heroes and Keiichi Tsuchiya's in here. LOL. Pls, enough with the drama, guys. lol.

I had fun reading all the comments. I can't be biased on any type of tranny here as I love driving an M/T as much as I love driving my A/T Z.

Seems like A/T vs M/T discussion here is based mostly on drag racing... But take it to a road course and you'll know driving is not all about how smooth and flawless you can shift - you will realize that super human quick-shifting is one of the least you need to worry about.

Not bragging here, just trying to make a point - I'm an amateur track goer who used to have a boring stock A/T Z that was able to keep up/pass some M/T Evo9, SMG Golfs, PDK Porsches. It doesn't make a difference! It's how you handle the car overall. It's all about the driver, not the car. Some guys can get faster laptime with A/T's vs M/T's, vise versa- Driver preference.

A true car enthusiast would learn to respect others rather than acting like kids who like to brag about what they have.

But still... M/T's are hell of a fun to drive and I miss driving one.
