The 7AT has been tested only about 0.1 second quicker in the 0-60 and around 0.1-0.3 seconds quicker in the 1/4 mile on average. A very skilled 6MT driver may be able to match or best the 7AT times. However, I think the fastest 1/4 mile time on record is from a 6MT.

I think an average driver in a 7AT would probably post a quicker time than an average 6MT time. I've also heard the times for the 7AT are more consistent.

Pro drives with the MT can surely match/beat the AT, but like you said average to slightly above average AT can't be beat. It's just like PS3 tap and your in the next gear it's right there no delay. Go test drive one on the lot, bring your women and tell the salesman she's thinking of getting a Z also. That way it can be just y'all and no sales guy

There are plenty of AUTO vs. MT gearbox threads. Please search for them. We don't like discussing AUTO vs MT transmission here on the forum.

YES, the airbags automatically deactivates.

Good luck with your purchase.
