Agreed. That may look good in a civic though

Let stay on topic folks!!

I had a Manual Z and now have an Auto I can tell you that I loved both. I could not tell the difference between both. If I would buy another Z I would get it Auto again.

It's the only nice point of the FR-S interior.

From what i can gather... it is on topic. Kinda. This thread is about someone's insecurity driving an auto, which went into the insecurity of people who make their auto's look like manuals? lol


This is a pointless thread when you think of it.

Yes sir! :tiphat:

MT > AT > poser

:stirthepot: :icon17:

I think he's talking about the fat chicks and jerkin' it :bowrofl:

:icon18:

Which actually brought this whole thread up like 3 notches.:tup:

Trips i only go off topic to get your sexy ass in here :yum:

you're welcome :tiphat:

While I know this thread should die a peaceful death, I have to say that it got me to goofing around with my 7AT and I was quite surprised. I've had other vehicles with shift-o-matics (mostly large trucks and SUVs) and they seemed a bit gimmicky, apart from use in towing. I found the quasi-manual mode surprising useful for getting a little more control out of the gearbox. It certainly helps making sure one is in the right gear coming out of the corners. Anyway, I still lament not having a 6MT, but maybe a little less now. Moreover, I am still happy as a good fart to have a 370Z.

one of the premier Z Turner/mechanic, Rob w/ Zcar garage actually recommended going auto instead of manual when I was asking for suggestions. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go 350 again or 370 and he said "you should check out the A/T 370z it will blow your mind!"

Sorry, I was just trying to back you up. Won't do that again....:tiphat:

???? I think the automatic driver is a smoother operator... I own both manual cars and auto cars and it is a lot easier to get some in a auto. You have a free hand to multitask or to pleasure them. :bowrofl:

However, I do not think I'd own a Vette with a auto. They just aren't that good yet. The biggest difference between old school autos and this one is you can hold a gear and it has auto-reving down shifts. All of my previous Z's have been manual. The the 350z auto was not even close to this Sequenical 7 Speed Auto with auto-reving down shifts, 370Z's S7 is really inovative and a blast to drive once you learn how it works and when to pull a lever or flap a paddle.

I would never had believed it either until I drove a S7 370Z.

Man, if it were that easy, we'd (males) not be running around making jackasses of ourselves for the better part of our waking hours. We'd not be behaving like the the dung-slinging chimps we hail from, and you'd have a Nobel Peace (or Piece) prize.

What women want? What you speak of is highly illusive, perhaps a fable, and still unknown. Finding the G Spot with my Z spot? I'll give it a try (but with my 7AT).

My friends are amazed at the responses the 7a gives when changing gears. Nissan built something special with the 7a. I think they are the first to really give the best of both worlds without going dct.
