The MT crowd can boast to the fact that the MT is probally more fun to drive however.... I am leaning towards the 7AT, but MTs are SOOOO fun....

More fun to drive indeed ... until I'm stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on the 10. All of a sudden, not so fun.

But despite my distaste for having a stick in a commuter car, it's been ingrained into me that sport cars should have a manual, while "muscle cars" can get away with autos.

LOL!! Have fun on the 10 my friend!! When I go into the office, I usually leave before all the traffic hits!! I will think of you in rush hour traffic next week!!

After a chat with my wife tonight, I think I will be going 7AT. It will be tough enough for me to just bring the Z home! Again, I will not loose that battle, but do not mind loosing the Trans battle. I will get a Nismo 370Z a few years down the road to complement my 7AT...

...If I still have a job!!!
