Auto 370Z...Is it Good?

hey32g · 07-15-2009, 09:02 PM

My plan was to drive an Audi TTS with the DCT, then go drive the 370Z w/ an A7, then drive a 370Z with a 6M. (I have a 335i with a 6M right now)

I drove the Audi, then went and drove the A7 Z, and was every bit as impressed with the A7 as I was with the DCT. It might have been a tad slower, not enough that I could tell, and not enough to make a difference. After driving the A7, I told the sales guy to forget the M6, because I had already made up my mind.

As for it not being as rewarding and sporty, I have to disagree. I've driven manual cars my whole life. I think being able to break hard into a corner while just using your left hand to do all the downshifting is great. I guess because I'm a huge F1 fan and I've watched them work the paddles for years. It's a whole different kind of rewarding.

That's my 2 cents.
