Love the Paddle Shifters
 

I love the paddle shifters on a tight twisty road when keeping both hands on the wheel is a good idea. Probably isn't a big deal on a track or a more open road.

I went up the newly paved GA SR180 this weekend where the penalty for error is pretty big. They worked great.

I also went over the Cherohala Skyway but they aren't really a big deal there.

They are just another toy to play with while having a good time in the Z.

Shhh. The manual boys might get butt hurt reading this post. Keep this on the low down chief.

To each his own.

See. I told ya.

Butt hurt over a pretend dual clutch? K...

Not true. I said to each his own. I have no idea how that pick got there. Forum must have a virus.

OP... that's cool. Glad you're having fun. I like rowing the gears on my manual around tight twisty roads but I'd like to try the paddle shift thing too. I hear autos are a little faster but you'll never hear us admit that either.

I agree with "to each their own". My very first experience with paddle shifters on the Z was on a track. I was completely befuddled. My shifts were terrible, and my lines were all over the place. I even hit the windshield wiper stalk unnecessarily. Of course, the GoPro was right above one, making it bend horribly :shakes head:

I got back into my own 6MT a few hours later on the same track and felt like I was home :driving:

My wife really wants a 7AT Z now (it was her 6MT Z originally). I think it would be a great idea - I can get more practice with those paddle shifters :icon17:

Had a similar experience when I test drove the Z prior to purchase. Decide to go with the old tried and true.

I had to opt for the 7at for a couple reasons and wasn't thrilled about it but for a standard slush box it's pretty amazing. It's certainly not on par with a true dual clutch but the maintenance and reliability on those things can really be hit or miss so I'm quite happy with Nissan's choice.

My first time ever sitting in a Z was in a auto. I was annoying with laggy feel.

I actually have paddle shifters in my veloster too. Never use it because it is annoying.

I love my paddles. They keep my boat afloat.

I have driven both.... I can say I'm very impressed by the 7AT in the 370z... not so much in other cars.... I made my choice to get the 7AT because it's a blast to drive.. and my ole lady can drive it as well....(well when she needs to at least) lol... OP where in GA are you??

I mainly use mine for downshifing when I see the light turn red from a far. I need to use them more often but not too many twisty roads where im at.
