Auto or Manual-never driven stick

I think you have to get the sport package to get the sync. match. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone here will chime in. RP

I can not help but notice that every one that tells you to go with the manual
transmission all seem to have manuals----they don't know anything about the
370 auto other than what they have heard. It takes a little while with the auto transmission to get the most out of it / same is true with the manual

The people that have the new auto's you will note in most cases came from a manual transmission and are really happy with how the auto it performs---What people don't get is the automatic is much like a stick transmission without a clutch if you want it to be. I really, really like the transmission and I came from a long line of high performance manual transmission cars
( kept my wife from wanting to drive them) the last of which was a supercharged 2006 Saleen. Just my feelings on the subject.

I come from Mustangs, too, so I was taught to shun the auto transmissions as they were ALWAYS pieces of crap... but the 7AT is just awesome in the Z.
