(hence why max Talbot's house went for 900k in the southside due to being nice and having a two car garage built into the house.)

so people put chairs out to save parking spots right in front of their house so they don't have to walk.

but the issue is when I go to places around there to eat the main streets typically 100% full so you go to side streets and people are lazy so if you park in front of their house they aren't typically happy.

I remember one day in my monte carlo (betweener vehicle don't judge me lol) I had the top piece of sandwich bread stuck to my windshield by the mayo on it. wasn't happy yet still got a chuckle.

the new autos of today are just as fun as the m6 couterparts. The PDK is seamless in acceleration! its perfection. I got the chance to drive one last week...poetry in motion...the manual was fun too but everyone recognizes autos is THE way. Competitve motorsports is a numbers game and auto delivers above manual. Simple as that...fun is subjective...ive had an m6 370...the auto to me is allot more fun

I test drove 3 or 4 (cant remember) 6MT 370's when I was shopping for one. still wasn't sure about it. didn't like the feel of the manual tranny in the Z.

drove one 7AT and bought one the following week.

after driving the 7AT i was sold also, not to mention (again) they are the fastest too

Luciano has been in here for about 10 min now trying to attempt a comeback......

i'm waiting

I have to admit, the M6 in the 370z makes me feel like I have no idea what I am doing...that clutch engagement point *smh* - the RJM clutch pedal does make it easier but even after driving it for over a month+, it still makes me feel like a noob!

I drove my buddy's Camaro ZL1 and even though he has a twin disc clutch, shifting was SUPER smooth! Still, wouldn't trade in my MT for a slushbox :P I'll take a DCT, though!

have you even driven the 370 with a 7AT?

if you have I highly doubt you'd call it a "slush box". it's far from it and its actually one of (if not) the best AT (non-dct) I've ever driven.

I have not driven a recent one, I remember one a while back, 2010 or so? It was nice but I think the fastest "slushbox" I've driven is from the Lexus IS-F...now those shifts were QUICK!

never driven an IS-F but people who I know that have said it was pretty decent

why you gotta be all logical

I know the AT boys like dicks

the fact that there's no long pause between loud and loud because you MT boys suck at rowing gears doesn't change the fact of what is happening.

It's relevant because the retarded 7AT changing gears makes nice sounding aftermarket exhausts sound crappy. It is a special skill of the 7AT only

Also, there's only a pause between gears when driving/shifting casually in the city. You won't find any pause in my shifting when I'm pushing her



Oh how I love this thread

oh baby

Get a video with your exhaust in traffic with the shifter in D (no manual mode or paddle shifters) and post it up. I want to see how it sounds with the "fast" AT computer controlling the shifts

Um ... cuz ... um ... race logic ?

I love my 7AT but had the pleasure driving this 8AT today and it's a astutely amazing.
If you drive that AT and don't fall in love something is wrong with you.
