In case anyone is in question the AT is not capable of the same power as the MT on these cars. It will not hold far more power. That assumption may be true on other cars, but not this one. I would highly recommend you go with a MT if you want to make high hp.

Hey, an answer to the question. Thanks for the info.

The reason I chose the 6spd was because I want 2 make big pwr. I'm trying 2 get between 600 & 700hp. Even though the auto gives u quicker times I'm was worried it wouldn't be able 2 handle that pwr.

600-700hp, good luck with that, I hope u got the cash for that cus you'll prob have to go with a twin turbo set-up, then have to upgrade everything else to support that power.

Ya, that kind of power level will require a built motor, TT kit, and many more goodies. Sounds like a fun project ;) I would put aside a nice amount of money and time to get that done. We would love to do that kind of a build ;)

If you want to come out with 600-700 WHp, both transmissions will need modifying. Both have their pros and cons.

You may also think about what else you will be doing with the car the rest of the time you are NOT at the track.;)

Besides clutch/flywheel the MT should not need anything else.

I don't even think a lightened flywheel will be needed. That first gear is gonna wind up super fast anyway.;)

True, but we do them anyways while everything is apart. Something incredibly amusing about tractionless 1st gear.... it's so much fun!

You have no reason to have less respect for someone with an auto...

Especially not a 370z w/ auto...it'll post better 1/4 mile and 0-60 times than you manual, and shred the tires just as well if not better (partially because the higher rear-end ratio)
