It is faster because you don't have to use the lame skill of shifting and using a Peddle. Show me that wheel hop, clutch burning, gear grinding, and tire spin every time and I will show you my tail lights every time. You manual guys love the view of rears anyways So what's the problem?

This makes no sense...

First, you seem to be calling the skill of proper MT shifting, lame. This coming from an AT ladyboy is too funny People often make fun of what they can't do or don't have. So I guess I understand your frustration since you don't have an MT and can't drive one either

Second, it's pedal

Nothing that dude posts makes any sense. Proper sentence structure and grammar were apparently not part of his education.

We do need to add peddle and pedal to tiggas thread though

Thank you for being the grammar nazi there jar. Unfortunately my smart phone isn't very smart with the auto correct Feature in which we all love.

I can also drive a manual and have driven plenty of them anywhere ranging from a mustang gt, an rx7, and the old 3 on the tree Chevelle. Driven a deuce and half in the military too.
Don't get high and mighty over your pansyassed hydraulic assisted little Short throw manuals that all cars have these days. They are almost as easy to drive as the autos.

My pleasure

I never said you hadn't driven MTs before. I just said you don't know how

LOL ... you call my hydraulic assisted manual pansyassed yet it is less assistance than is provided by an AT. Once again, you lose!

Every single thing your saying about wheel hop, tire spin, etc is driver error. You don't make any sense... Get 10 years or so of driving experience on a track with a manual transmission and maybe you will understand why the one in the 370z sucks. You automatic guys act like you have the same transmission as the GTR.

I'm sorry that your dad bought you an automatic, because he knew you couldn't drive a stick.

I've never met someone driving a manual who doesn't miss shifts or has an error when racing. It's impossible. No one said the Z auto is anything like the GTR but I'll tell you it's leaps and bounds from most other shiftable automatics. I've driven many and the Z made me switch from buying a manual to an auto. Hands down the better transmission in the Z.

Also im pretty sure everyone in here bought their own vehicle. Just saying.

I've never missed a shift in the Z. Ever. Except for that one time I did. And those other times
