Finally test drove the 370z 6MT...

I've driven both (own a 7AT) and my "butt dyno" says they feel pretty much the same. My guess is that people don't really push the 6MT very hard since a salesman is sitting next to you during the test drive, but they are willing to push the 7AT harder - maybe it's a psychological thing.

Could you link me? I can't seem to find it..

I do think it was an issue of me not pushing the car enough..

I'm interested in the sensor mod though.

Sprint Booster review for 370z 7 speed AT

Sprint Booster. Don't be fooled by the title. It's available for the AT and MT. There is also a little device made by Blitz. There's a link in the thread.
