Wow, all 7At vs 6MT thread always end up with lots of pages. It keeps me entertain while I am at work. Thanks guys.

From my observation, I think the younger generations are more bias about their manual transmission than the older one. If some older generations on this board who have been been driving manual all their lives still choose the 7AT over 6MT, then there is got to be a lot of improvement on the 7AT for them to pick that.

Please be open minded and get along.

It's the first traditional "slush bucket" tranny that actually has better acceleration than the manual in 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. I'm sure there may be others but I haven't seen any. Very impressive.

Look at the CTS-V, same deal. They borrowed the manual from the parts bin and designed the auto specifically for that car- making it the faster option (although, not as significant as the difference in the 370z).

Its hard to answer you when you ask me to break it down further into age group. Reason why I didn't want do it in the first place.

In my opinion, those are people who "have been there, done it" and did it over couple times.
