Love the new blue. The magma red really isn't that great in person.

I never particularly liked the feel of my 6MT. I did like the 7ATs that I have driven so I don't fault anyone for going that route.
They are also typically the fastest in a straight line.

 The only thing i really don't like about my AT is that increasing this car by 200rwhp is rapetastically expensive. Beefing up the tranny will cost as much as a turbo kit.  Other than that, the 7at is insanely responsive and aggressive for being a slushbox. With the groundwire kit from stillen, it's just plain impressive. |

I drive a 6MT, and it's the first stick I've ever owned. (Drove a coworker's Golf to learn, drove my friend's WRX once.) I test drove the 7AT when I was buying, but went for the manual because, well, I figured you're supposed to in a sports car. I do love the engagement of ripping through the gears when you're accelerating hard on an on ramp, but I wonder if I should have gone with the 7AT (particularly considering the fact that my master & slave cylinders died when I was four hours from home). I also do primarily highway driving, so I spend the majority of my time in 6th gear.
As far as the '13 model, I'm still not sold on the face. It's grown on me a little, and this is the first live-action I've really seen of the new look. I still hate the wheels though. Directional rims always look like they're from WalMart, IMO. Should have stayed with the 09-12, and just offered the gunmetal color. That blue is pretty awesome though.

I test drove the Z in Auto because they had no manuals. After coming from an auto G35S i was totally determined to get a manual my next ride. I was extremely impressed by the auto in the Z and as others have said felt nice and torquey. There is virtually no traffic in my neck of the woods so the manual has worked out great. Nice write up!

The 370 is old and sucks fuel. It needs small engine and turbo, it must be like brz... Blah blah.
Honestly, I'd like to see them go after the vette than the brz. If the next gen goes downscale... I'll just get a c7 vette |
