What is the pros and cons of a Automatic transmission. Should I mod my Z if I have a techtronic transmission. Or what are some Do's and Dont's... I like sound and performance. But I don't want to be laughed at?

You posted in the 370z sub forum. Did you buy the car yet?

I don't see why you couldn't mod it.

if you already bought it, isn't it a little late to worry about MT vs AT?

Personal opinion here, but I don't think sports cars need to be driven with an AT. That being said, that's personal preference. AT Z's are still nice rides.

But I don't think you'll ever be laying out plans to put 400WHP down in an automatic Z. Plenum spacer here, test pipes there, but I wouldn't go crazy if at all with performance mods. Just my opinion though.

Youll already be laughed at enough for buying an autotragic.

Get a Transgo shift kit so you can enjoy it A LOT more. I highly suggest it!!! I just sold my 5AT G that I had for 3 yrs yesterday and I'm going to get a 6MT Z.

Why don't you want a manual?

An auto vs manual thread . Would you like to know what the best intake is for the Z? How about what wheel offsets to go with?

To answer your question, I prefer MT.
Pros: Not an AT
Cons: Clutch might be on the way out. But you take that kind of risk with any used car anyways.

No reason to even have a transmission. Just push the car along the road with a stick, like a gondola in Venice.

This is what the Z community has become, sad really. When will people start asking about "VTEC engine" swaps into our cars I wonder?

HAHAHAHA.

Too late, OP. I'm already laughing at you.

My brother was walking by while I was reading this thread, and hes like "hmmm, funny, we dont seem to have AT vs MT threads over on the S2000 forums".


And hes right. Stop being a ***** and buy a 6 speed.

I really can't believe you're actually asking his question and expecting a sensible answer. You need to get yourself a kiddies pedal cart and get yourself an education. You might get 300 horses out of your pedal cart if you put high lift cams in it.

You're trying way too hard to be Alberto.

The auto trans on a Z is a very good one. You wont have any problems modding the car unless you go FI, where the only difference is the power holding limit is less than the CD009 MT trans.

Honestly though its a transmission, you wont ever put it to the limits. If your needs are:
