Still, your only stipulation was "that aren't boosted".

Can't change the rules after you've been beat! :icon17:

i still have a pretty fast time and with new tires it would be lower. mine are about 1/2 gone when i ran my best time.

Let's keep it real. Most aren't doing it cuz they're insecure about their auto. It's that Nissan had to make the auto stick so fvckin ugly.

They did great with the G and killed the Z.:shakes head:

I am not insecure about my Auto either....Seems like some people want us to be..

Sorry, I could care less what someone else drives because it is their car...And I sure don't care what they think about what I drive or own...

b15 05-31-2013 10:40 AM

What the OP is doing definitely shows insecurity about his auto.

yea i'm sure the guys i know at my local cars and coffee are insecure about their autos in their 458, LFa, and aventador lol :bowrofl:

i love my auto and i;m not ashamed like most MT guys try to make us. i just laugh at the ones who try. usually it's out of envy that they hate.

Yeah....they also don't have a torque converter like you do :rolleyes:

It's laughable you 7AT guys compare your autos to a DCT. Different animals. I think the 7AT is a great mainstream trans, but I think an auto Z deserves a DCT (hopefully Z35?). Even the GTI has one...

It was easier for the GTi to have one. VAG has spread the cost around to a lot of different models. Nissan only has the GTR tranny. They can use that one and raise the price, or develop a new one and raise the price. You can't amortize the r&d of something like that across a car that sells 10k units a year and not have a price increase.

aventador doesnt have a double clutch. its a single clutch 7 speed. just FYI

yes i know the difference between mine and a DCT. i do kinda like when the single clutch gives a kick when shifting at the redline.

Yeah, I know it's more cost effective for Nissan to throw their existing 7AT into the Z.....but one can wish! If it had a DCT- it would actually be a pretty tough choice for me!

The Fr-S got one thing right. The stick part of the auto looks respectable.

Red_Z 05-31-2013 11:01 AM

just drive what you like. MT or AT, both don't take rocket science to operate. Most of us here are just ordinary people drive to get by our day.... and it really doesn't take any specail skill to drive manual.

b15 05-31-2013 11:01 AM

lol....fat chick or mr. righty? Decisions decisions.

Guys, carbon fiber makes your automatic faster! Lol, it does make the center look better though. Cheap Mod. I used the rest of the vinyl I had laying around so its no perfect.
