Any Reviews of the 7 Speed Auto?
I know it's still early but wasn't sure if there has been any reviews of the 7 speed 370z yet? I am curious to see whether 0-60 time will be lower with the 7 speed auto.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I agree 100%. I am just curious if the new auto offers some advantages from before in terms of performance. Thanks!

The 7AT has an advantage in the 1st & 2nd gear. But not much afterward and the eventually the 6MT's last 3 gears end up being more aggresive. (Just look at the gears along with final drives of each).

A friend of mine drove the new FX35 w/7AT. He liked in in auto mode, but there was much more shifting involved as opposed to the old 5AT. Like, by the time you're going 40 mph, you're in 3rd already. That said, I am VERY curious to try one...

Again, the Z is much more than 0-60 or 1/4 mile times. I am hearing very positive comments about the 7AT. I can't wait to test drive it!!

This does not matter. The G37 has the EXACT same gearing ratios between 7AT and MT, and we see the results there. The 7AT is faster in a straight line.

The G37 & 370Z have the same exact gearing for their trannys.

Are you saying that the 7AT has the same gear ratios and FD as the 6MT on the G37? If so, that's definately not true. Like I said before, the 7AT has an advantage off of the line. Other than that, its not faster than the 6MT.
The G37 & 370Z have the same exact gearing for their trannys.

The MT will be revving higher in its final gear than the AT, but that does not mean it will be faster... The 7AT will be faster.
