I won't try to speak for others, but I realize I am becoming a bit of a dinosaur on this issue. Ferrari, Porsche, and even Nissan don't offer MT on some sports cars because they don't maximize performance.

I also realize Nissan could not appeal to the range of enthusiasts without offering an AT. They know we aren't all tracking the car, and some of us suffer through stop and go city traffic everyday.

So, to each their own , even though MT is way better, and my Z could beat up your Z

The AT in the cars you mentioned are alot different then the one in the Z correct? As much as I would rather get the new GTR in a good old 6spd even if it ment a few ticks slower but the only way it comes is with the flappy pedal tranny.
