Kinda like saying "my Cavalier is super fast because its Ferrari Red!" For the record, stock auto Z's are weaksauce, and until one passes me, so is any Nissan auto, VB, TQ converter or anything else upgraded as well, as most guys who do those upgrades have upshift/downshift issues anyways.

This is a direct response to you quoting me and your rant after... If I had said stock auto's were the fastest, I would have understood the response, but I don't care if it was a TH5000, it was an automatic and that was the only point "I" was making !

You cant claim something like what you did (as a + for autos > 6MT in a Z especially) without mentioning the fact that its a completely different tranny, while you may know there is a difference, if it doesnt get cleared up, thousands of newbs will start posting about how auto Z's run 10's with TT kits. That is the only point I was making, the rest was contributing to this oh so informative, and never before done thread.

I said the fastest 1/4 miles times on this site are auto's and they are PERIOD. It's Obvious it's a RACE transmission, no one said it wasn't. And your comparison with the cavalier is just plan Stupid.

Alberto...every one knows you can drive a stick tranny [ you tell every one ]
The MT6 cant handle drag racing any more than the AT5 can . You being on your 4th tranny proves that .
If we bought the 350Z or G35 for drag racing , auto crossing , road racing or what ever . You more than likely bought a MT6 . And it needs to be built for that purpose if your serious about it . Other than that what is the difference what tranny you have ? MOst of us bought the car for driving every day , around town , in and out of traffic , stop and go . So if you like shifting every two second , fifty thousand times every time you take the car out . Go for it . If it makes you feel more like a MAN , Go for it . If it gets you a boner [ big e-dick ] . Go for it .
I wont put you down if you dont put me down for the choice we make .
lol !!!!!

Just gotta get my launch right...my rear Pirelli F-Zero 285/35/18's are pretty bald, no traction, need new tires.
Good luck to you too in all your goals!! Thanks for supporting other Z members and their cars whether auto or manual, if only other members were as supportive as you !!
LOL

A 6MT will in fact hold up to drag racing better than a 5AT. You ignorantly use my situation to try to prove a false point. My original and 1st replacement were horrible synchro issues, one being 5th gear grinding (which I never shift fast) and the other tranny got stuck in reverse. Only until recently and my 3rd tranny did I myself destroy 3rd gear powershifting with more than double the stock power.
I know of 2 guys personally with less than 400whp and autos who have issues with downshifting, upshifting, slipping, its a hassle. One o fthese guys even has a VB and it goes good WOT, but downshifting it hesitates, and he isnt happy with it.
Sharif has 650whp (on his dyno)and didnt break his tranny dragging all day I broke mine with 490whp in low boost on my first pass. If you want to use me as a worst case scenario and think all 6MT's suck for dragging go ahead, there are 20+ 400whp guys and 6MT's who drag there cars and don thave issues with the transmission.
And yes I like shifting my car, and I have never been a cry baby about stop and go traffic, that is my view point, my opinion, while you have to pull a stick forward or back and wait 1.5 seconds for a gear shift Im already gone in the gear I want-a manual is a much more direct connection. To each his own.
