5AT. Price is too good to pass up with the quality of parts invested. Also, the 5AT put down the same power on the dyno and same 1/4 miles time with the 6MT and 7AT in 09+ G37.

congrats! I think I know the guy who is selling it. Exchanged a few PMs with him before.

Look into adding motordyne intake manifold and art pipes. I made 332 whp with Stillen gen 3, art pipes, manifold, e370 exhaust. But then again I have 6 MT. Buddy of mine has the same exact mods but his is AT and made 305-310 whp. Same dyno, same tuner, same day, same temp.

thanks guys. The car feels amazing driving it back home. Gonna have to change the brake pads immediately. The current pads on there are the Hawk HP Plus race pads, and they are so loud and dusty. My car sounds like a tank driving around with that brake on. Also, the car feels a lot faster than my 350z and I had pretty much the same mod on it. The KW V3 coil kept the car glue to the ground without any body rolls going around corner or curve. Its incredible!

A car is a car, just because you choose the shifts doesnt make you a better driver, I have taken a lot of MT Z's during autocross or track events and they were surprised because they thought i was driving a manual.

The auto vs MT debate may have been plausible back in the 80s and 90s but not today, im sorry but you cant shift faster than a computer

anyways nice G OP might be my next vehicle

I'm guessing you meant AT not MT? Like i said, to each their own. I find AT's boring anymore, I find shifting fun, which makes it more fun to drive around for me. The only thing I find automatics good for is road head, and traffic jams lol. It's still a nice car OP enjoy it!

You say that yet thats the first argument with people owning MTs is i can do this that this that with my tranny, which are racing techniques. I have fun with my car, so that is subjective to the person.

No i meant manual transmission Zs, I have an AT, like i said, just because you can shift a manual doesnt mean you can drive well at all, plus for me my first two cars were MT, and i grew up in LA, city with the worlds worst traffic, my Z is a DD, and im tired when i get off work, so my laziness also helped me choose the AT. So i guess what im saying it plays on your argument of to each is their own, which is true in my case, i have my reasons, you have yours, but i find it funny that most of the people screaming oh its not a real sports car if it aint a stick, have one never raced on a track, and two are terrible at driving, but think they are the DK of the their city. I have beaten plenty of people on a track, from a dig, or head up because they didnt know how to shift, when to shift, they missed shifts, clutch is bad, etc, etc. Now im not saying all autos are as good as the 350z's but we have a great auto tranny in the Z

I said nothing about racing techniques. All I said was I have more fun and that's not debatable in my opinion (not that there is anythign wrong with automatic cars).

That may be great and all but I don't let that get in my way and I live in Houston with the 3rd worst traffic in the U.S.

It all boils down to personal preference.

I find MT just more engaging which literally translates instant gratification. I live in Houston too and I still prefer manual. Using your left foot and rowing through the gears puts a smile to my face regardless of traffic. It can get tiring at times but I'd still want a MT for a "fun car".
