All i will say is this i have owned both and to each his own. the good news
is both the 7at and 6mt are attached to a 370z!!! so i'm not complaining
either way.

The advantage of the 7at is the ability to have either world, lazy driving or manual mode sport driving. The 6mt is always a stick and sometimes (heavy traffic) that's as far from fun as it gets.

So when you consider the above point and combine that with the stellar stats of the 370's 7at, it's not a tough decision IMO.

But if you still want to do it, for gods sakes sell the car don't trade it, you will get bent over big time. I never trade cars in unless I don't think they will sell. You will have zero problems selling a 370 they are tough to get. You will likely sell it in a few days unless you live in a rural area, and you will get the most money possible for it. A dealer is going to lowball you like crazy on a trade.

Wow... I did not know that. Need to remove x_x out of my "what I drive" section. lol

Exactly,because according to nissan tests the manual is faster

zZSoCalZz 05-19-2010 03:11 PM

So... The manual is faster?

The 7AT has more aggressive low-end gearing than the 6MT, which allows it to post strong 1/4 mile numbers. If that metric is your basis for "faster," then maybe not. It's really just a gimmick, IMHO.

Just buy a supercharger instead ://
with the money you're about to blow.. might as well.

labk888 05-19-2010 04:02 PM

I am so glad I got my 6MT.

wishihadnav 05-19-2010 04:05 PM

yeah for the Z i'll have to agree that MT is the way to go...i just avoid traffic..haha

Well that depends on where you are, in most metro area's there are plenty of them for sale on dealers lots and some used one's in ad's. Many of those on dealers lots here in the DFW and HOU area's have been there for quite a while now as well........

You are going to get hit with 6k or so. I suggest you to drive the AT for 2 years or so and then trade it in for a new one. U'll probably get hit w/ 8-10k after 2 years. that's only 2-4k on top of what you lose today but you'll be driving a 2012 with no mileage instead of a 2010 (and whatever mileage you put on it) on the day you trade it in.

Make sense?
