white is beautiful on the Z. I got the auto mainly because it's my daily driver. Going to work and school in traffic jams would drive me crazy especially in the mornings. Now if you have a DD get the manual! I find myself sometimes wishing I had gotten the 6 speed

I couldn't agree with you more and that's why I have a 7AT........ However at the end of the day it's your choice. Will this be a DD for you?

Yes, this will be.

Depends on where your Z will be driven. If you'll be seeing mostly city i would choose the 7spd.

That logic does not make sense. On the highway you only use one gear - 5th or 6th. The city is where the manual shines. The real everyday race.

Until you have to shift gears 1000 times on your 30 minute commute. I've always had manuals and loved them, but I also leave for work when the roads are empty. If I had to drive in stop and go traffic everyday I'd definitely be looking for an auto DD.

Gun metal is about a billion times easier to maintain. hth.

I never understood this argument. When I am stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, I stay in 1st the whole time. If it is slow moving traffic I stay in 2nd or 3rd with occasional downshift. Do you guys not look ahead when driving. I am always looking all around and way ahead. It's not that hard. My only complaint would be in bumper to bumper when stuck on a steep incline, and even that is minor once you get it.

Yeah I agree on most part. The real headache comes in when driving a stick shift is stop/go on an incline or the traffic fully stop just few seconds and go too often. But in the later case, I will just keep some distense with the car in front of me.

I like white Z. It stands out. But you can't go wrong either way. As far as stick shift vs 7am, I'd always go for 6MT on a sports car. Just my 2 cents.

Thank You for your time!

Fewer 370's are Gun Metal. It is easier to maintain.

RE: What would you prefer, why? Manual, because I am heterosexual and would not consider automatic.

Auto doesn't make you gay, having a roof does

Make it a roadster.
