Thats impossible!!! You need to test drive one and STOP reading BS

It was an auto magazine review. I'm on my phone or I would link it. I took it as credible being as it was an automag test drive feature. But its total bs?
(I don't feel ok doing burn outs on a test drive. I don't even do them in my car, but to NOT be able to would grit at me.)

I totally understand but like you know sometimes reviews are subjective. I know for a fact you can do burn outs if necessary in a 7AT with the VDC off and even then its intrusive but it won't stop it from happening.
Here's an old video

. Thanks for the vid Triple's

I'd say some cars are better suited to automatics while others are better with a manual.

With the 370z demanding your attention and skill to drive it quickly, it feels suited to a manual.

i am a major beginner so bare with em if I am asking something stupid. I do have an oil cooler already, though, if that is what you were referring to.

pretty sure he's talking about a tranny cooler. and oil cooler is also a must for the track.

Thechidz · 12-11-2011, 01:18 AM

I would personally only get a MT if it was a 3 speed. I had a three speed high performance mt in an 81 camaro and I loved it. I don't track but I drive hard and for pleasure often.

brucelidat · 12-11-2011, 01:51 AM

i haven't heard much about a tranny cooler, is this a must for a beginner at the track?

b1adesofcha0s · 12-11-2011, 12:34 PM

How much does a transmission cooler for the 7AT cost?

wstar · 12-11-2011, 08:10 PM

I started with Stillen's kit at $329, but I ended up replacing the hoses and some of the connectors. I think GTM and maybe Z1 have kits as well. This was my post about my changes to the Stillen kit, would've been cheaper in the end to put it together myself and buy the Setrab core directly.

Jamaica · 12-11-2011, 08:24 PM

It is cheaper to build your own kit. Buy the 25 row setrab core, lines and fittings. This is what I have also.

wstar · 12-11-2011, 10:01 PM

I donno about the 25, I guess if you can figure out the temp range that works for you and use a blockoff. So far with the ultra-tiny core Stillen ships I haven't had to block mine off in the winter, and it's been sufficient for 15-20 min track sessions with no apparent performance loss.

Yeah 25 seems overkill for the tranny. What size cooler comes with the Stillen kit?

Jamaica · 12-11-2011, 10:13 PM

I have the 25 row and works great. Also have a transmission temp gauge. No complaints.
