Sports package - that includes the big brakes and nav, I think?

So far the STI is 99% sold.
I'm looking around for a 370z now.

Once it's off the lot, I'm off to order some parts.
First off on the list is:
- KW Coils
- Wheels: Not sure which ones yet, but the few on my list are
* Work Meisters 3PC
* Weds Kranze
* Volk Ce28n

Later down the road, I'd like to do the amuse kit and just keep it dropped and "simple" haha
The AT is a superior tranny, not just saying that because I have one, but as far as autos go, the 370z auto is really good, and as far as mods, well you figured that one out yourself.

That's good to know! I was thinking about the AT yesterday and thought - "I might get bored of this and it might actually make me hate the car".

I don't think I'll be too picky in my searches between MT and AT. My preferences are still with the MT though.

I've been itching to drive one so bad! Just haven't had the time lately...

Nah never, the automatic is def useful for a daily like mine, I commute to work back to home, almost 45 mins. So for that, I dont wanna sit in traffic and shift gears.

But like you said def find time to drive both and pick the better option.

I just go home when there's no traffic.

I do as well, even at 6pm there is traffic on 95, coming up from Ny,

plus when I really need to step on it I have the paddles, and those never fail me. SO 7AT = best of both worlds for me.
