Anyone spend decent time in both 6mt and 7at Zs?

the automatic was definately smoother. no doubt about it. Nissan's transmission makes the shifts feel so fluid.

that said, I went with the 6MT because I feel that this is a sports car. I want the control that comes with a MT.

Just curious as to what "control" are you refering to? Since you can hold any gear with either transmission. I guess you can start in 2nd with the manual but not the 7AT, but I can't, think off the top of my head, anything else?

As to the OP. I didn't notice any significant sound difference between the two, other than the sound of the shifting itself.

You can't drop from 6th straight to 3rd with an AT like you can with MT. You have to drop, drop, drop. I know that it happens pretty fast with the AT, but not as fast as a MT. That is just one example, and it works in both directions (i.e. 3rd straight up to 6th).

Agreed,that is why i changed my exhausts to 'HKS Hi Power' for nicer[not loud] sound.
