i have no trouble shifting from 1-2. its smoother than a baby's bottom.

if i wanted to click a button to change gears i'd play forza

(all statements ending with a don't count as ....

I'm feeling foolish for having put a serious post in this thread...

my button makes me faster than you old fashioned old people

Jeffblue

haha, old fashioned? you make it sound like you are a grandpa whos already had enough of the whole 'stick shift' thing that us young hooligans are still caught up in, even though you're like in you're early 20's

On top gear, Clarkson frequently refers to a manual transmission as a 'proper gearbox'.... just saying. obviously, he's driven way more supercars than anyone here, and if he can come back and say that after driving all those cars with Dual Clutch transmissions, he is stating that based on way more perspective than any of us have.

the whole MT/AT thing has been beaten to death so many times, why do you constantly troll every thread where it could conceivably be brought up and talk about how AT is faster and how everyone who drives a 6spd Z probably can't shift smoothly. you make it sound like you've outgrown manual transmissions as some sort of maturity thing, i dont get it. AT is now like... sophisticated or something?

people should get whatever transmission they want, but whenever people ask me what transmission i have in my Z, they always seem excited when i say a 6spd. never had someone in real life be like 'WTF DUDE why did you get that shitty transmission'

I did not / have not found this car difficult to drive, just different. I got right out of a 2000 Honda Civic Ex MT (Since 2001), into the Z (2012) and drove off the lot with no problem (no stalls). The Z has basically 3x the HP, which is one of the main reasons it feels different for me

This could have something to do with the method used when I was taught how to drive a manual transmission, and my dad never letting me forget that when girls are riding in the car, they don't want to feel you shifting gears...He parked in the middle of a hill in my neighborhood, told me when I could get up the hill, I could drive a manual trans, this was in a '98 4-Cylinder Ford Ranger...He's not a redneck haha.

Yay, let's start another 7AT vs 6MT debate! Or perhaps another Young vs Old debate! Sh*t, I still think we need Miata Doors on this sports car!

Those damn doors ARE bulletproof

lol me trolling every thread?

this is actually the first time I went "lol MT sucks"

and taking clarkson serious? While I love top gear I don't take clarkson serious these days, he turned too much into a comedian.

MT and AT is the same thing for me, people think too highly of MT here like its the only way a car should be. I guess it has to do with belgians driving MTs all the time.

if I could I would of gotten a MT but I wasn't going to wait 3 months for the car delivery + paying about 8000 bucks more just so I can go "**** yeah MT".

oh yeah over here people go "huh you got a AT?" then I show the pedals and shift stick and then they are like "kickass"

pedals IS FOR REAL RACING BRO.

Jeffblue

pedals?

Vegitto-kun

flappy pedals bro.

mick

for the average american, i think jeff's 370z is harder to drive than vegitto's 370z
