No, manual for sure. Where's the S-mode button? Top right of the shifter is the rev match button. Is that what I'm looking for? I've only ever sat in an automatic touring non-sport. I can't seem to find a good photo of the cluster/dash/shifter.

I know he's said he's looking for a manual, but thought I'd correct this.

The 7AT has rev-matching on at all times. So there's no s-mode button, but manual-mode shifts are rev matched.

Well we're talking about a visual button for him to see. So technically the auto doesn't have it. Meaning the button.

Correct, top right.

That button also controls the auto-rev matching right? When I drove the C7 Z51 and did that for the first time I creamed my pants. My right ankle's been broken a few times to doing the whole heel toe thing is a pain (literally!)

That's all it is, synco rev match.

R3V 02-02-2014 11:16 AM

That's what I thought. I was thinking to myself, the only sport button in a NA/6SP 370Z is the option to turn off traction control

In any case, going to drive the BRZ and a 370Z on Tuesday.

Somehow I think you're going to end up leaning toward the 370.:icon17:

BTW if you get a NISMO you get all the stuff that comes with the sport package, plus stiffer suspension, different exhaust, quicker steering, 18 more hp, and a functional body kit. You'll end up sacrificing leather seats and a few non-essential goodies though. Something to consider if you're not planning to mod...

I did the same and love my Z, the BRZ just doesn't have the HP.

Gee, for a guy who is 25-ish, making a six figure salary being a super car salesman, money shouldn't be much of an issue. Go to the bank, tell them what you want i.e. high six figure home, GTR and a car of the wife's choice. I'm sure they'll throw as much money at you as desire. There, your problem is solved as others have done with your kind of money.

:tiphat:

Budgeting and savings are more important. I want to buy the GTR mostly cash. Plus, I'm moving in the next few years, so I want to have something fun and nice that I can finance to keep my credit strong before I pay it off and give it to the lady. I'm young yes but I try not to be stupid with what I earn.

At that price point, I may as well keep my Evo. I do plan on doing a few mods like an exhaust/suspension tweaks and some aesthetics. I think the value/money on a sport/base is pretty excellent. Especially used.

So my Evo was stolen.

My wife and I will be looking at a FRS, 370Z, and a Mustang GT Premium.
