^The 2015s come with something there... Whether it's a light... Not sure based on pics I see online.

The 2015 base wheels are the same as before except much darker. I like them

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....

I think the blip on 7AT downshift is more about protecting the tranny and not a performance feature. YMMV

i think it's great and does a great job on performance.

i beat the piss out of those paddles when on the dragon and it works just like any manual gearbox when downshifting into turns and using it for tranny braking.

i love the 7AT in the Z.

It will end when the Z35 is available... :)

But then it starts all over again! :D

kenchan 09-30-2014 03:31 PM

but you can still manually shift the base 7AT sequentially with the shifter, correct? :ugh: not that i care...

Limeybastard 09-30-2014 03:51 PM

I am curious what has changed in the suspension components on the base and sport seem to share the same now.

Even the Nissan CVT faux blips the throttle in manual mode. That won't change.

Look at the positive though... :tup:Sport tech is the biggest bang for buck in 370z history. So losing the paddles on a base isn't so bad.

Nissan, please bring back a more aggressive/ultra modern version of our 2009-2012 Z's in the next gen Z? Pleeeeaase!

:iagree:

I couldn't agree with you more, bruh!

fire165 09-30-2014 04:14 PM

^^Oh yeah.
Having the paddles is so much fun, I almost forget about my 350z 6speed manual.
Knowing the 2015 base, doesn't have paddles, I would not buy that model.

Will you also rehab my left knee??

Shotta 09-30-2014 04:37 PM

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

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.

My new Dodge has that feature. I wouldn't describe it as "borderline pointless", I'd call it totally useless. I'm just starting to change lanes at the third blink.
