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.
