[OFFICIAL] Manual v. Automatic Thread

a 2012 base AUTOMATIC with 1k.

Never thought I would own an automatic Z, but the car & the time was perfect.

The last Z was a great car. An 08 H.R. Enth. 6 spd. The car was perfect. A good DD & a weekend drag car. Very few N/A mods so it was also very streetable. Even with slicks & coming out at 5,500 rpm with 1.6 60' times, the car NEVER let me down, NEVER broke an axle or anything.

I got a good feeling about my 2012 370. I like how it drives & I do like this automatic trans. very much. 7 speed with good gearing. As far as a weekend drag car, I'm 100% sure that I'll be doing 12.7's, 12.8's after I get my test pipes & a tune. Tires? Maybe. I plan on doing it with stock intakes & exhausts. Can't wait till spring As much as I like manual trans cars, and love power shifting with clutch, sometimes without, I think I'll be happy with this automatic car.

The reason for the long story is because I always thought I'd be the last guy on earth to buy an auto Z....
