Ummm... some of those guys have been running for several years with lots of track time. How long does it have to hold 500 ft-lbs to be valid data?

No you still shift it, just don't have a clutch.

Its a very complicated process for the manual boys to absorb. Most of them have no clue as to what a real manual really is with the little pussy pedal you can push with your finger and a short throw Shifter.

M/T is for the homo asstards

Urban Dictionary: gay

1. jovial or happy, good-spirited

2. a homosexual male or female

3. often used to describe something stupid or unfortunate. originating from homophobia. quite preferable among many teenage males in order to buff up their "masculinity"

1. "We'll have a gay old time."

2. "You DO know he's gay. Notice his homoerotic pornography collection."

3. "Man, these automatic transmissions are gay. I can't even control what's going on with my car!"

Wow, that was wrong! That's the second time this month I wished I didn't look something up! The first was little Wayne's fault, don't look up truffle butter! I warned you!

I would like to thank Nissan for giving us 2 options that can be debated so avidly!

I have driven a manual transmission for the better part of 14 years and I loved every minute of it. I wanted a Z in some form since i was 12, however, about a year before I bought my 370 I was in a bad accident that left my right arm with very little range of motion. While the 7AT may not be considered as "masculine" by the popular crowd, it allows me to enjoy the car I love, with most of the control I enjoyed before my accident.
