what is really funny is how it went from being his "buddies" 05 anniversary in November to being his wanting to do the swap now.

Autos will always be better than manuals in shift speed.
Saying such a dumbass thing leads me to believe you're a young kid who loves Fast and the Furious.

lol @ the OP. Why do you keep starting threads about this? Waiting for somebody to finally telling you to go for it or something? If you REALLY want to switch the z you have now to a manual, and have the money to waste doing it (and dealing with any issues that may occur) then go for it and stop asking other people what to do with your car.

Friends got an automatic g,he ran me and beat me. were pretty equal sometimes he gets me and other times ill pull him. We are both modded with bolt on. I would never get a automatic just because I love being able to shift when I want to.
