can't we all just get along, 6mt or 7at it doesn't matter, but the 6mt is better :P lol

Nuh uh!!

Limeybastard · 12-21-2014, 12:11 AM

being a dumb caring husband that I am, I chose the 7AT with the view of the wifey somtimes driving it. Guess what? She never wants to drive it nor has. And Im left with a 7AT...

However, I am very impressed with the 7AT, Sure it dont thrill me as a stick but good old lazy bones here appears to have almost the best of both worlds. No regrets.

Worth noting I come from a strictyl manual background and this is / was my first "proper" AT car as most my previous were stick.

LOL...I was lucky. I drove an 06 Mustang GT auto and an 11 5.0 for a total of 9 years. Wife only drove the 11 once in the 9 combined years I had them, even though I encouraged her to drive them (and see the difference between high performance and Ford Escape). With that track record, I had no problems hunting down a 6MT Z straight away!

"...The latter is particularly true given the recent rumors that the Z may expand to include cheaper and less powerful versions in the future."

Eeeek!!!

So ... why have I not seen any comments on ...

ASE (Active Sound Enhancement) under audio and entertainment up top?

?? ho hum. The only active sound enhancement I want is rolled down windows and straight pipes with headers. Well ok maybe not that far but you know what I mean. Oh well. You think they are just prepping us for the 1.4 liter turbocharged "slightly" less powerfull version?

umm... the bose system is a decent system. good? not really.

works? yea

so... even if this is an 'upgrade' if you have any appreciation to sound you know that you'll want better quality.

just my 2 cents (wait in canada we have to round to nickels now...) my 5 cents.

I actually love the bose in my Z. the nav is from 2009 so that needs an update but i'm not paying $200 for it lol

don't get me wrong... i hardly listen to music (the engine is my music) but when i do it's radio and that quality is crap anyways.

i did stream some em pee free's into it and i was content. sure it's no fancy pioneer but still got the job done of delivering sound to ear without any noticeable static or distortion or whatever else can happen

I never had an issue with the sound quality on mine. i love music and crank it often although my engine is a magnificent sound alone.

on the highway i typically got the music on and it sounds great even with the straight pipes doing their thing lol

Understand its just nice to see Nissan address some of the complaints how the current Nismo is too expensive for a model that has been out for a while. I am guessing Nissan is throwing the Bose system and then lowering the price of the 2016 nismo.

Interesting GM at Deland Nissan said he's heard potential 'early' model release, as soon as April for '16s, and no significant model change that he can discern thus far...just general scuttlebutt from seemingly sincere principle at local stealership. He also concurred with lower-end Z model likely for '17 with 4-banger for competition in $25k space.

That's what he said, yep, April for initial shipment on '16s -- he thought odd since 'half year' kinda a models usually have something to add, but he didn't think there was anything...

Completely unrelated sidenote, first Ford Mustang was a 1964 1/2, i.e. April release.
