A true sports car like the Z needs to be a MT. I test drove a 7at just to see what the ride was like and all I can say is yawnnnnn. An Auto is an Auto there is a computer always there second guessing you. The downshifts lagged and it just felt like a good old SlushBox

7AT's are great for smokers... They can use that extra hand for holding the cig

:facepalm:

Lol, what about us with busted knee's.....I had a bad skiing accident followed by car accident 3 years later. :eekdance:

I was faced with this dilemna 10 years ago...I did not make that same mistake this time around with my Z. Its too late for you to get the 6 speed without getting hanmered money wise! Do as others have mentioned and ride it out for a little longer until your depreciation/debt level out somewhat. The again.... 2012 IS around the corner :stirthepot:

There is no lag anywhere in manual mode on the 7at. It shifts faster than a human can.

:tup:

i shift faster..i am not human:tup:

ya know, every time i see your name, all I can think of is dude, just buy a Garmin Nuvi, they're pretty nice really.

haha..ive had one before..i just like the stock navi system.

I dont know... seemed like it lagged to me. You sure your not confusing the 7at in the Z to a Twin Clutch set-up in like an EVO.

It's nearly instant. I drive it every day. Now in auto mode of course it at times will lag big time, as any auto will do. eg. when you jump on the throttle, it hesitates for a second before the downshift. But in manual mode, there is no lag, you hit the paddle and it shifts, or you punch the throttle and your head snaps back (assuming you're in a good spot on the torque curve/correct gear), unless it senses the gear will put you outside of an allowable rpm.

Well I'm sure you know more the I do seeing is you drive one and well I have been waiting for mine since 4/20... But maybe I'm just use to the direct feeling of a stick. So the auto is faster in the quarter and 0-60 right?? has anyone with an Auto raced a MT from like a 30 40 roll? wonder who would win.
