[OFFICIAL] Manual v. Automatic Thread

[FPenvy]

honestly if someone in here hasn't driven the 370 7AT their opinion is no where near valid......at all.

I've driven many paddle shifted ATs and most are fuckin garbage. the Z's is actually really good.

AT > MT

Put it this way, IMO if you never track then 7AT is great for city driving...

But for track, 6MT gives the most control

Have you ever tracked a 370Z with a 7AT? What kind of control is it missing? I can't think of anytime on the track that a MT would have made things better. I will give you they are cheaper to upgrade but that's not performance.

I mean, the 6MT clearly will have more precise shifts and rev matching. Im not saying its faster at all but definitely more precise with gearing.

Especially so, when the car is presented with a bunch of constant feedback/shifting/braking/accel the 6MT is more precise just based on how a manual tranny works vs automatic....now if the Z had the GTR tranny would be different.

But yeah, its not any faster...and definitely more for fun and driving pleasure than anything.

Also, 6MT gets all the bitches and hoes and gets panties wet lol

this is the worst manual argument post yet. :faceapalm:

they have the exact same rev match.

if manuals are so awesome because they're pure and enthusiast's choice why would you use any other form of computer aided shifting?

also panties get wet looking at the car before they even see what tranny it has on the inside. any real Z enthusiasts knows that

I guess you missed my previous post. I wasn't talking about the synchro rev feauture, I dont use that but I can see it being very helpful for some people.

I meant the AT has more slop when rev matching, due to torque converter and no clutch its not direct

Btw the 7AT rev matching is not an added feature, its just how an AT tranny works, it'll rev match your downshifts...my 2000 Maxima 4AT does that lol...and with a torque converter its not all that great. Its NOT the same thing as the SynchroRev on the 6MT, which is actually useful technology for many people that is appearing on many new BMW's and stuff

AT - panties stay on
MT - panties come off

[JWillis72]

Lol,I'm married with kids so the bitches and hoes thing doesn't matter to me! The 7AT also has the rev match but what kind of MT purest would use technology like rev matching? You don't want the fun of heal toeing? There is nothing sloppy about this 7AT if it's tuned right.

Blasphemy! Hoes always matter?

Thats exactly what I meant BTW - I'll reuse your term "sloppy"...I didnt mean rev matching, mine is turned off. The AT generally will have a bit more 'slop'

Then again, I havent driven a properly built up 7AT so I cant say.

In the end of the day 6MT is all about fun...welp, plus the bitches and all! lol

Forget heal toeing - let's move on to hoe'ing - heading over to the NSFW section. Later!

I LOVE MY PADDLESHIFTERS!!!!! lol

[ayrton88]

Frankly, I think a automatic would be fine for racing. I just find an automatic boring in normal day to day driving. I can always get a little enjoyment rowing my own gears in the most mundane driving. Probably why the rev match feature has been turned off since the day I bought the car.
