Dude, i'm just at the back and forth from all the 6MT guys that just can't understand the 7AT is faster and all the 7AT guys who can't understand why somebody wants row gears (me), present company excepted of course.

Since I am now just entering the autox world where rumor has it there is typically only one shift anyway, 1st to 2nd, it really doesn't matter. Now it's all about hp and ft lbs ... oh ... yea ... it's about as well.

I'm just happy to have the Z and be able to have fun with it.

the back and forth makes my work days go faster lol

the 7AT is superior but the diehards will never admit it. that's fine too I mean back your beliefs I get it plus it gives me something to do all day lol

as for autox I've seen some say the 7AT cant beat a 6MT whatever. I guess they forget the 7AT has more aggressive gearing down low where we can shoot out of turns faster, shift faster (fro that 1 shift here and there), as well as always having 2 hands on the wheel for the back to back to back tight turns that come with autox.

I know the MT boys don't like facts but if you think that they can argue those few points I now realize they didn't buy MT's to be more engaged.......its because they're idiots
