Any regrets on choice of transmission

Blue370tt

Cant wait to meet you at the Z1 get together. Bullits car is not the same Liter motor as mine anymore and not a fair comparison......that being said I would still go for it and you might be surprised. Until you ride in my TT 7AT you should hold your opinions. If you want to get an idea of how my car runs.......call John at Z1 and ask.

I speak to john alot and im well aware of his opinions on your car. As well as all the other TT cars they have done. All are easily respectable, perhaps you should also respect the others? I wouldnt be suprised at your car. im well aware of what it can do. People here arent saying that the 7at is junk etc etc. They are just mostly stating they prefer whatever it is they prefer. Its like the color of your car. Are you going to tell me that riding in a blue car is different? or better looking? nah its what you wanted. I wanted white. Good thing is, im paying for mine and your paying for yours so there isnt an issue.

And my opinion, if you read my entire post was that, all cars are good as long as the driver is happy with the choice they made? im happy with mine. your happy with yours. Some arent happy with theirs and will trade it.

They have only done ONE other 370 TT besides mine. Yes, they have done many other TTs, but you cant compare them to the 370 (even the 350 TT) because of the VVEL.

The 7AT got a bad name on this forum because ONE person, yes only ONE, put a SC on a very high mile 370, and blew their tranny. No one knows why REALLY, but we do know, if you put FI on any high mile car you most likely will have trouble.

Most people on this forum act like we are talking about trannys in the 60's or 70's and we are not. AT's have come along way since then and are minimally equal when applied correctly in a sports cars. Again, when done correctly, the days of slush boxs are over.

I have had many MT sports cars in my life and prefer the 7AT. I have FI on my car and most drivers (if not all) would struggle to keep up with my turbos when shifting in a 1/4 mile race. Even expert drivers would have trouble shifting as fast as my TUNED 7AT.

For the record, I have nothing against the 6MT. For me, the 7AT is faster for what I want to do.

Bingo ty. Dont let one persons misery make you think everyone hates the 7at. Some people have had issues with the manual tranny too. Doesnt mean either is trash. Heck every car company has issues. Every component has issues sometimes with their stuff.

I do like the 7at in the z's. But it just wasnt for me. I have an automatic car in my other car that i purchased as my dd.

Oh for the fools who are saying that true sports car = mt, im sorry i was not aware that the gtr.... Ferrari 458..... Veyron.... Are fake sports cars. My bad ill remember that next caffeine and octane so i can tell the owners and laugh at em

No offense, but you gotta stop thinking people here are bagging on the 7AT. I've noticed the contrary actually. We get it, your car is fast and will shift faster. No one here is aguing the performance aspects. It may not be your intent to have something against MT owners, but it sure looks like you want us to look inferior. Have fun with your TUNED 7AT, that's all that matter in the end
