And honestly as a manual driving purist. I don't see how the Z could even be on the list on. "Gotta have it" manual cars. Lol. I personally don't find anything wrong with Z manuals. But as a die hard manual purist?" Why the Z? I can name 10 cars ahead in the manual experience right off the bat.

Most bimmers, mazdas and hondas come witth some of the slickest shifters on the planet and they are affordable. Then I must admit. The muscle car manuals definately have an edge is the smoothness feel with better clutches. And for the price of a 370z you can drive a 2009 porsche cayman manual and have the god of manual sports car transmissions.
To top it off, the highly-praised SYNCRO-REV MATCH is so UNPURIST. I'm just being honest. If some people are so die-hard about there manuals? The Z would rank in the teens on the top 30 manual transmissions.

In the world of automatics. You need a DCT to even compare to a Z transmission. That speaks volumes about the Z AUTO. It is bettter than ANY slushbox on the market, hands down. Its a tech marvel while the manual leaves to be desired in the world of manuals.
