depends on what you're hauling. I've fit quiet a bit into my trunk without much difficulty. a round of tetris if you think you'll have trouble and you're good to go!
premium fuel - required. not a recommendation.

To me, putting the thing on the inside of the bell housing is crazy, and has been proven to be so, but it must be great for stealership service departments, regardless of who's paying the tab.

I've driven both manual and auto 350Zs and AFAIK there are no paddle shifters available on their autos. You must momentarily blip the selector forward or backward while its in the "sport shifting" position. The one thing I noticed on the autos was how fast they shifted going either up or down. They transitioned and snapped into gear really fast -- far faster than our '10 Outlander XLS auto with its paddle shifters, where there is some noticeable, slippery lag while the transmission completes the shift.

I've just watched some interesting 370Z auto videos.

and this one of a young newbie owner being filmed by his Commander in Chief wife or girlfriend (but my money is on the former):

and here's a pure 0-60 with auto that impresses me:

I doubt like heck that I could manually shift any faster than the auto ......... but I'm more than willing to give it a try and I will do so on our test drive of the base. If the slave cylinder should fail during that drive, so be it. Edmonntonians are enjoying some great summer-like weather, so the walk will be nice.

Also premium is a must in my opinion but I know people that do not use it. some driving "higher end vehicles" they say "....but it was just a recommendation"
