Having a MT doesn't prevent you from doing any of that AND you get to play with your stick. WIN-WIN

Auto in the 370Z for her. Manual in the 300ZX TT for me. Everyone wins.

Man that 300zx is sweet.

I always love the attempted comebacks from the manual guys. 9 out of 10 times it's them saying "you don't know how to drive a stick noob". always makes me chuckle.

ever think that a 7AT guy is fully capable of driving a manual but rather drive the better transmission choice?


take a moment if I blew you tiny little minds.

But you prefer to sit on the MT knob rather than use it to shift gears

No...The reasons have always been the same:

1. The AT transmission is WEAK!!!!
2. Spirited driving is always more enjoyable in a MT

the MT isn't much stronger and that's after you pay to change the CSC that WILL fail.

and as for 2 I honestly 100% have more fun ripping through back roads, highways, etc.... with 2 hands on the wheels grabbing paddles. not only am I safer i'm also quicker in many ways.

The MT is a fucton stronger. In fact nobody has figured out what it takes to grenade one. The AT lets go at about 350wtq. Try again.

you misspelled "fraction".

no one has found it because anyone who boosts it puts a new clutch in to handle it.

I really wish the manual didn't have clutch problems. If not for that, I probably wouldn't have bought the auto. Nissan really let me down.
