[OFFICIAL] Manual v. Automatic Thread

No, I think they mean they chose the stick on the 370Z and don't want any more 370Z owners to go faster then them.

INCORRECT!
Im just set on the old fashion sports car in true form...
Dont get me wrong autos will hold there own but a mt6 with a driver who knows how to properly shift will get the best of "most" automatics...especially yours

When I test drove an auto Z it just confirmed why I don't like autos. The stick may not be as sweet as others, but for me its a no-brainer. Why get a sporty car if you want auto - you might as well get a volvo and have a chauffeur. Oh and don't forget to put your facial cream on in the morning and sip double de-caff lattes with you lap-dog named 'chi-chi'. Sheesh - toughen the fu^k up Australia.

Wow

I'm sure somebody once whipped a horse holding the same disdain for automobiles. My *** isn't chaffed, and I can't feed it oatmeal -- cars are for passive fags; a real man of action rides a horse

Are you the guys who would try to tear apart a new GT-R in order to experiment with adding a clutch pedal?

I prefer the auto now. I had MTs in the past but was hit by a drunk driver in 2007 and lost an eye so think auto is better for now.
