![]() Racing on a road course is totally different and I agree with what you're saying. I suppose if the car was mainly track then sure, 6MT. But really, how many of us spend more than 20% of our time with the Z on a track? So, if you're going to do mixed driving then nothing wrong with considering the 7AT and honing your cornering skills instead of how to shift a transmission. Not saying it's superior but... How many 6MT divers have been caught in horrible traffic and think (or wish for) the 7AT and are scared to admit it? I would venture to say many here have imagined this. ![]() If we're being 100% honest here I'll admit there are times I regret the 7AT because I've always driven MT. My Z is no longer my DD and more of a weekend toy so this makes me feel a bit more strongly this way. I still don't regret my decision enough to do something about it or really care a ton because the 7AT works so well (very, very well in fact). Also, my lady can drive the car if I have a bit too much to drink (usually when she's eager to talk a lot lol) so there is another advantage. Would I trade for a 6MT if it was an even swap? Sure, I probably would actually now that my needs have changed but it's just not too important to me. Last edited by 11Thumper; 02-26-2015 at 02:01 PM. |
