Default Just drive a 6MT 370Z o_O

I just went to the dealership that sold me my nismo 350z, the guy who sold me the car let me test drive a 6MT 370z. OMG! the rev matching transmission is straight up sick! its a lot better comparing to my current ones , however, I didn't like the quietness inside the car, when i was driving it, i didn't feel like i was driving a sport car . The only thing that really amazed me was the transmission, the down shifting was so smooth, i really wish i have the transmission in my 350z .

I still think my PPW Nismo Z looks better than the stock PPW 370z I've driven tho.

rev-match just doesnt seem right for a MT car.

Exactly what i was thinking when i was driving it, it was straight up sick, everything was automatic, when i downshift from 4th to 2nd, without releasing the clutch, it jsut automatically rev matching it so it can be at the right place when i push the gas pedal. It was so smooth, u don't even feel like its downshifting, u can only hear the engine reving sound, but u definitely don't feel anything while doing it, so sick, and its rediculous that a MT car can do something like that

You can turn off the RevMatch feature. How often do you do actually heel & toe correctly?

Did you like the new metallic white? I was split between purchasing a black or a white 370z, and after seeing the white 370 i really got to appreciate the color..Very beautiful white that shimmers a silver hue in darker settings.

If it's a sports car, I have to hear the engine and feel the engine vibrations through the shifter.

why dont u try youtube for exhaust sounds, cabin noise has nothing to do with how it sounds outside, they are just saying its got a quiet ride inside the car..
