Yea. No paddle shifters in the base.



lol... unless you were going NISMO, looks like 2014 was the "best" year for base 370's, given the other option drops.

Nissan knows the performance driven buyers who want shift will just buy a manual transmission, none of that fake shifting with the paddles.

Flame suit on at full power.

So they are going to that system as well huh? Not that big a fan of it myself, and borderline pointless, since the average asshat doesn't use turn signals for anything, much less lane changing.

Well I'll be damned... the OP is right...

That's what I get for being a smart *** and not actually checking...

My apology for doubting.

From the 2015 370Z press kit ...

"Paddle shifters are standard on Touring, Sport and Sport Tech grades." Everything but the base.

Makes me happy I got my 09 with 7AT and paddles....I feel bad for the new guy who isn't knowing and gets on this site and finds out after he/she bought a '15 model base 7AT that the paddles were optional....I mean is that something the sale guys are going to use to upsell or...?

Is the 7AT option cheaper on the base than on the base+sport? Seems to me like it should be if this is the case.

I love my paddles. Great feature.

Mine was a $1300 option... This from Nissan web site for a Base 7AT:

2013 Transmission: 7-Speed Automatic $1,300
Includes paddle shifters and Downshift Rev Matching. Transmission specifications - Speeds: 7. Type: Automatic w/OD.

2015 Transmission: 7-Speed Automatic $1,300
Transmission specifications - Speeds: 7. Type: Automatic w/OD.

No mention of paddles... Cheap bastards!!!

You guys notice how it says no mention of paddles or the downshift Rev matching....so does the 7AT base without paddles not blip Rev when downshifted??? Because mine does....
