Don't regret it cause I was not dumb enough to get an auto sports car when I had the option for a man pedal.

I'm guessing you are well under 25...
Your needs&wants change when you age.Convenience is one of them.

You should have given more thought before you bought the car.
Besides,I've got MT in my 70' Lotus Europa JPS.

This is the exact reason I have a stick, so my wife WON'T drive my car. And I'm 36, so your age point is moot.

You manual drivers complaining about stop-and-go traffic are pussies. Try driving a twin-plate in that sh*t. Be happy with your cushy clutch.

Judging by your username... your parents got you the car and you didn't really have a choice.

their transmissions shift faster than a human could shift a manual anyway... youd be dumb to go without the auto at that point. only thing that i dislike is the sequential gear box.

Dave chimes in but doesn't lock it so I'll comment.

I should have bought an automatic. It's so much easier in traffic and I don't race the Z.

Good for you!lol---there are ALWAYS exceptions.
The average member age,at least those that are "active/participate" on this forum,is well under 25.You are over the norm.I am WELL over the norm(could be the oldest member).

Actually the GTR comes with a electronically shifted dual-clutch transmission.. meaning its a manual transmission where the clutch is engaged and disengaged by a computer everytime you hit the up or down paddle... if i recall correctly it can shift in .05 seconds... faster then a human ever could...

Its not a real AT with torque converter and all.
