I opted for the house instead of the Z this year. Hopefully next year I'll be able to get the Z.

What are you? A girly-man? No....then get the stick.

STICK BIT¢H!!! What do you think!

Its like buying an automatic Porsche WTF?

The autos in the Z are great! I chose the auto and have not regretted it at all. I don't really think this thread is going to help you make a decision. The best thing you can do is go out and drive them both!

You mean like the automatic PDK on the Porsche that is actually faster then a stick? :driving:

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.

CORRECT!
Auto seems :shakes head:, and not really in touch with the car control wise...
but whatever make you happy OP… your the one who has to drive it
:driving:

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;)

thank you all for the advise..
ended up gettin a mt!

THUMBS UP!!!

the clutch is soooo much better then my G

and CONGRATS!!!!!!

Love my auto w/paddle shifters. I am also 48 and don't drive like im 25.

This. I think the manual tranny on the Z is garbage. Chatters, whines, throwout bearing roar, rubbery shifts, etc. I come from an s2k too and that thing was nirvana. There is a difference between the tranny being loud and shaky in a good way and loud and shaky in a bad way, and the z's manual is the latter. The auto however is excellent.

Automatic or Manual transmission?
 

Which is stronger and more fun .. 7-speed automatic transmission or 6-speed manual transmission for 370z?

I'm gonna warn you, it's about to get really fun in here. :tiphat:

Manual transmission:
8==========D
Automatic transmission:
8===D
:stirthepot:

Referencing of course the size of one you have shoved up your azz right?? :tup:

where else would it be?

You could fireman carry it, or if you're in a Sporty mood, tuck it close to the body like a football. :tup:

I'm gonna just close my eyes and wait for the screams.... I agree, this is gonna get interesting. How many posts before it gets heated and locked? :)

:tup:

Just like Britney Spears with a yellow python.

Probably not that many with all the Database Errors lol

Maybe thats AK's new Anti-flame prevention measure. :bowrofl:

be funny if a z was outfitted with a 18sp tranny. im in frikken 8th gear and im still going 40mph... another 10 to go...

LoL It takes you 4 gears just to get moving. :icon17:

Mega Gigabyte Son!!!

I drove my buddies 350 manual and it was fun. I love my AT 370 cuz I get lazy sometimes and the paddles are more than enough when I want to shift myself and hit some high rpms. To each their own. This is America damnit! We're free to pick any transmission we want!

OP isn't from America, so he would have to import it... Prolly is asking so he doesn't have them import one he doesn't want.

why get both? its the 6.5 speed Automaticual. Its automatic for the most part, until the car realizes you are driving like a pussay and just drops it in 3rd and you have to go from there..

:roflpuke2:

For me and my use of my 370Z as a daily driver, I went with the 7A. If I had bought my 370Z as a weekend car only, I would have gone with the 6MT.

If you're thinking about purchasing a 370Z and need to decide with trans to get, then the bottom line is that only you can answer your question based on why you're buying the car and how it will be used.

I usually like to mention a reason for closing which I forgot in this case.

OP, this topic has been beaten to death. There are probably 30+ threads on this topic. I am usually the last person to point someone to the "search" function but for this topic, seach is your friend!

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.

oh please :rolleyes:

Wow :ughdance:

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 :icon17:

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.

I like macaroni and cheese.

Who brought this thread from the dead? Lol

I hate people keep saying stuff like "all man should know how to drive manual cars and blah blah.." yea right...you don't have to...why am I defending automatic? because I have automatic. and do I know how to stick shift. YES I do. I got auto because my parents didn't let me buy manual 370z. yep it's a really sad for me. T^T. I drove 370z auto and it's really not that bad compare to driving a manual 370z. auto 370z has really great power and nice downshift sound. very comfortable too. It's just more fun driving manual because you can control the gears and more thrilling yea of course. So I just hope that people stop saying s*** about autos soon. I don't give a s*** about having an auto sports car.

:facepalm:

Did you have to bump this thread? Do we always have to argue about this subject?

Look, imo, everyone should learn to drive manual just because it's a skill that can come in handy in an emergency.

BUT when it comes down to what cars we own and drive, I don't care what people's preferences are. Drive what makes you happy. I love manual, but some prefer auto. I can't fault anyone for choosing either. Enjoy your Z's.

:gtfo2: :facepalm:

To dudesky: How old are you that you are taking orders from your parents ? If so young that you are still doing that you shouldn't own a Z. Buy a Scion or something.

An automatic in a Z reminds me of the horrible late 70's and 80's when they offered the 280Z as a 2+2 and with an automatic. The car became a "secretary special". Like today's Miata.
Go tell your parents you are trading your Z in for a 6MT and quit being such a mommy-man.
