I haven't eaten in my Z but I have eaten in my other MT cars. Just put the burger in your lap at shitf time.

Do you auto guys like to blip throttle before shifting into "D" while at a stop to pretend you are cool like us MT guys?

I tell you what is nice, is the matching revs on a down shift just with the tug of one of my left hand's fingers. That is pretty freaking sweet!

Obviously, you don't did get this topic is pointless, both are good transmissions, and it's a matter of preference. Its like trying to argue one flavor of ice to another, It's still ice cream.

nah i just put it in N rev it up and act like i've got the clutch pushed down.

I always blip the throttle shifting into gears because it sounds nice in manual mode. Whats with this "D" business?

Do you guys like to never worry about traffic jams in your Z like us AT guys?

Edit: with inclines

The Car and Driver tests say 4.6 for 0-60, and they tested 4.9 for the MT and 5.2 for the Nismo, so the AT seems nicely faste most of the time

Interesting to me that the MT fans seem more defensive then the AT posters.

Both can get a little sensitive at times. I'm a MT guy, and it's not a question of performance for me. It's all about feel and control.

But I don't

on this debate, because I think it's silly on its merits. This car is fun and fast regardless of tranny. And if it's your money to spend, it's your choice imo. Just enjoy what you've got.
