What are you going for this time and what did you have in your last car.

 

Well if I were to buy it then it would have to be manual, but I drove my friends Lexus IS350 and that is a damn fine car. So not sure if I want the 2 seater here is all my cash mod it car hahaha.

 

If I get a regular Z, it will be the AT. I am hearing good things about that tranny, and I will not have to fight that battle with my wife on getting the car.

If I get the Nismo, it will do a MT if no DCT is available. The Nismo would be worth fighting battles over...

 

I alwayes drive MT so I am getting 370Z in MT.

 

Manual.

 

Whats an automatic?

 

I have a feeling that a lot of people will be buying the auto considering the 7AT, paddle-shifters addition, and more than likely, will be faster than the 6MT.

 

The automatic as I have yet to lose to a manual with the same mods as mine. I just get out of the hole faster.

 

The 7AT

 

Automatic on a sports car? No thanks

 

If you want to drive a sports car, please....get a manual. People who drive an auto sports car are dumb.

 

manual

Another well thought out,intelligent statement?

 

You know everything about me! Perhaps you drive an auto sports car?

 

you get out of the hole quicker 'cause of those nice and meaty 295's. I'll take both out for a drive but am leaning towards the 7AT. Although I am from the old school of thought that a sports car needs a manual, it is 2008.

 

Dude.. Comments like that are very ignorant. Get over yourself...

 

Oh yeah. What century did you come from?

 

I choose manual because that is what I enjoy more. Frankly, Nissan could offer an auto that shifted so fast it took me 30ms back in time each time it shifted and I would still choose the manual. I'm not competing in the car, there are no races to be won that matter, so I couldn't care less about loosing a few tenths shift time if it means adding a few smiles to the drive.

 

I would like a MT, but I also think about resale value and that a MT might be harder to sell in a few years...

 

Ok I Respect the Z as the car that it is. So I'm not going to down talk automatic i mean people who drive automatic cars might simply find manual to hard to drive, or its a real pain in the ***, some people might just not have the dedication to a manual tranny because of the technicality behind it, also maybe some factors come into play like hills, traffic, and a rougher ride, or they can just be lazy as F*ck. But let me tell you this if you want to have more fun and actually feel the true power of the car get a manual. Plus any "serious" tuner who sees you with an automatic will laugh in your face. So personally I've driven manual all my life never once had an automatic car and I never will. So manual all the way. Oh yea and I live in NYC with hills and a hell of alot of traffic and **** so no excuses!

P.S: Auto drivers stop saying you bought an automatic for performance reasons because if you were serious you'd learn to drive stick and join everyone in having fun!!!!!
