People just need to learn how to drive then the 6mt will deffinitely beat out the 7at. I love the skill it takes to drive fast in a manual transmission. Automatics are too lazy for my taste.

. :ughdance:

7 AT all the waaaaayyy! I mean come on! You get ONE MORE GEAR!! Plus you can talk on the cell phone and eat a donut while driving! Should be a no brainer...:icon17:

^^ the 7AT is tempting for sure.......extra gear FTW!!...lol

this transmission is aggressively geared....form what i heard from other G owners

ya kills me that the sedans are faster but I look cooler. and handel better. in the end the G is not a drag car.

just don't drink coffee. (long story)

^^ and the end of the story has a twist

Hey.... It could be 1 Porsche Cayman S or 2 Z's!! What would you choose???? :tup:

Not in California, cell phone use in a car as long as it is hand held is illegal. I am actually happy about this but everyone still does it, and still drive like crap.

For some reason, it's in my DNA to believe that sport cars need to have manuals. Driving an auto sport car is like leaving the windows up on a convertible.
Driving stick in traffic does get a little old though.

Gotta go with the 6MT on this one. Heck, even the 'grocery getter' is a 5MT. Not much traffic to contend with out here in WY, and a paddle shifter AT is a little too video game for me. That being said, the 7AT is probably going to be metranome consistent on the track. Comes down to purity vs max efficiency. I'll take purity every day. :tup:

S.

6MT:tup:

although paddle shifters are very tempting

At least you can have some mundane fun though. I am with you sports cars are sporty and as such should have a great sporty transmission 6mt ftmfw:werd:

6MT

I like to be in control.

6MT here as well...

the joy i get from rowing through gears and downshifting is an important element a sports car must have...

i already have an auto i'd use for errands and lazy driving.

^^ but if you didnt have an auto already, would you still choose the MT???

I learned my lesson on my 5AT Z33, gotta go MT

my only issue with the AT is how much power you can give it when it comes time to turbo

i currently have a VW GTI with the automatic DSG transmission. My car before that was a stick and i loved it but i got a really good deal on this current GTI. I must say, i miss having a stick, a lot. However, the DSG is not a force to be reckon with. It shifts MUCH faster than any person driving a stick can and it's a lot more aggressive. It has paddle shifters too which is no joke. I raced my friend a couple of times who also has a GTI except with a stick and i beat him everytime.
Even the Car&Driver reviews all said it, the new DSG is much faster than even any professional driver can shift.
All that being said, i miss my manual tranny and if i get a 370z, it will be in a 6mt :)

:confused: Am I less of a man... because I prefer the 7AT...?

7at for me
 

I think i'm going to have to go with the 7at.

Stick.

manual 6 non negociable :)

6MT All the way.

depends on the vehicle.

My last few cars have been autos, I'm ready to shift for myself again.
