2015 nismo tech in auto is the path I'm going with

I wouldn't steer the guy into a $45,000 manual with no experience. My advice would have been to find an old Integra gs manual in good condition and work on it. YOU can learn in a Z in two weeks but inside a brand new car. Confidence will take a long time to build. Not everyone is gung ho and care free enough to boldly drive a manual sports car confidently in a short amount of time.

The paddles offer good fun. The auto Nismo should feel substantially faster than a regular manual Z with the new gear ratios & 18 extra horses. Enjoy.

Side note, Somebody posted that the Nismo Tech 7at still comes with the 3.69 rear end, only the 6mt comes with the 3.9 ratio. Not sure if that is legit, just saying.

Clarification of your side note. It is borderline misinformation. Many people speak on the auto from ratios to performance etc... but it's always convoluted and told on hearsay.
