U guys act like your crap slap manuals are the same manuals used in racing. Lol.
No, its a stripped crapped cheapened version of a true racing manual. Why not just ask nissan for a car with no tranny and build a true racing manual?

So in the end, its preference. And snyde comments like yours can go both ways.
1 to grow on.

I LUV THE 7AT!

Are you serious? Formula 1 cars DO not use the same manual we have in our cars... the Manual trans of the modern sports car is as evolved as it will get ... cheap or not... The auto however is not - granted the tq converter on the Z is really good - which is what allows for some of those quick shifts... But to compare either to a sequential manual is just retarded...

I am sure you love your A7 - but dont fool yourself -> any good manual driver will be able to shift MUCH faster than you ever can with the Zs auto... but most pro manual drivers will not be 1/2 as fast as a formula 1 shifter...

Most not all 370z manual drivers will not be able to change as quickly and accurately as the 7AT. I loved my 6 speed in my S15 but I also like my 7AT. They are both fun to drive and have their advantages and disadvantages. If your a good manual shifter, then the 6 speed is for you.

and reading some of the media (i know i know, i'm quoting media, bad idea), the 7AT is actually one of the best transmissions to come out in a while. the shifting is almost effortless for the system, and it responds almost as well as a pro driver shifting through the manual transmission...
