Manual vs. Auto performance

Robert_Nash · 03-11-2009, 01:32 PM

Nothing wrong with going either way but I can tell you that even as an avid autocrosser, I went with the 7AT and I'm loving it.

Nothing but a highly accurate timing system will discern any performance gap between the two and with Nissan's manual mode, you really have the best of both worlds.

If you really love to shift manually then get the manual but you won't be giving up anything with the auto (except a tired left leg/right arm when you are in stop and go traffic for a while

)

Haven't had a chance to drive a 370Z yet. Is the clutch effort still fairly high?

If so, that would explain a tired leg. Can't say I've ever had to shift so much that my arm got tired.
