Auto 370Z...Is it Good?

Red370 · 07-19-2009, 11:19 PM

from what ive noticed over the years, having owned a fully built GSX w 850whp, mods arent as plentiful for cars w auto trannys, especially forced induction. Alot of aftermarket companies dont build kits for anything other than manual trannys, which is why mine is a 6spd, just my .2

This was my point all together, would someone who sees a Z rollin up, pops the hood looks inside and think.. Bad ***, then move to the interior and WTF!? No stick?! FAiL.

And also, isnt after market boosting about increasing the Engine's output? No matter what tranny it may be paired with? Sure you're prolly gonna have more of a reduction in RWHP but still good numbers out of the engine itself right?

GT motorsports has pretty much shown theres very small difference in power output when boosting the auto and manual. on myg37.com there are many dynos of the members with mods similar to that of the 370z and they are pretty much the same with +/-5hp which you really are not going to miss if you chose the tranny that suits you. Of course the Z will take less power loss from the drivetrain than the G will so expect to see more power.
