FL Z owners
Would be much more annoying not to have a stick the rest of the time.

Miami here, and I'm kind of stuck.. My family and friends (all of whom grew up driving manual), advise me to get a automatic because I'm frequently on US1 heading to coconut grove (usually during traffic hours 4-6).. I know how to drive manual and I want manual.. They grew up in the area though with manuals and are advising against it. Anyone from Miami have an input? Specifically US1 and Mariposa/in front of UM.

Go with your gut feeling. Psychologically speaking, at first no matter what you decide, you will feel you made the right decision. That said, having driven all over US1 including many trips to UM, nothing compares to rush hour on 836. Not once have I ever felt like the 6spd manual was a mistake. I feel it enriches every single driving situation.

I put an aftermarket clutch (SPEC stage 2+) in mine and have never regretted owning this wonderful 6 speed.
I even have a bum left knee.

Any of you all in the 350/370z Orland Facebook site? Trying to get that one rolling as it seems its sorta dead here in Central Florida. Just moved down in the Fall from North Florida and I was shocked at how many Z's I see but no one really does just Z meets for Central Florida. Check out the site if you guys have time! Id love to do more meets or picnics like we did at the Ft Lauderdale one a few weeks past! Thanks, Im not trying ot spam, just get Oralndo area motivated a bit haha.

You guys need to join the Orlando area 350/370z page as well. Ive never even heard of the other, this is where all the people I know post. I jsut looked at that page, looks like only one dude ever posts there. Lets have some of yall join the Orlando area one as no where in Central FL is really that far from anywhere else. Seems like there is so many different Z groups, need to merge some to really build up one big group!
Oh and in that central Fl one you posted, looks to be just all G's which is good and fine but were trying to build up a Z group. Feel free to check it out! Thanks
