modifying an automatic...

FPenvy · 03-26-2014, 07:35 AM

ok so it's obvious which side of the arguement i'm backing but......

which ever side you're on, 6MT or 7AT, i will say this: you cannot deny (if you've tried one) the fact that the 7AT that the 370 uses is an amazing set-up. i've driven many other "sports" cars with similar power/engines with paddle shiftable autos and they are garbage. recently picked up a 2013 camaro with the V6 and auto tranny to flip. tried the paddles and it was awful. it would take 2-3 seconds to shift at high rpm's and going down a gear sucked as well. been in a few other sporty cars with paddles or slap sticks and the story is the same.

in the end if you've ever tried a 7AT Z they you realize how amazing the set-up is and how well it works.

so for the sake that we drive the same car and the car has one of the greatest auto-manual transmissions, i say you 6MT superior idiots just let it go. can we just enjoy the fact that our car as a whole is superior to others?

lets stop beating the dead horse already and move on as a community.......to go and make fun of ricers and FR-S/BR-Z owners.

Likewise, i say you 7AT faster lazy pansies just let it go. can we just enjoy the fact that our car as a whole is superior to others?

So everybody's back to "the one I bought>the other one"? Isn't that the case with everything?

In my opinion, the only worthy modification to do on an automatic is to convert it to manual.

They do it to turn it into a real sports car.

I have personally converted a few 240z's and a Volvo 244 from auto to manual.

Correct. Those and the associated cojones belong to AT drivers
