Need some advice?!

Also just for more information I live in a small town so no city like traffic, only 10 stop lights lol, and also would the sports package make it an easier transition to at MT for me because of the syncrorev?

Settle for an auto. Learning to drive a manual. On a brand new expensive car is not a great idea. Go with the automatic, it's excellent!

Learn to drive a manual with an old beater car or truck first then get the manual Z. Auto's are fine too as a choice. Up to you but you will feel pretty dumb jerking and stalling your Z for a few months before you finally figure it out and may even burn your clutch up in the process. Either way is a win for you.

OP get what you want... I have a 7AT I like it.. I do know how to drive a MT but I got the 7At so my wife can drive the car as well.... I have tought her how to drive a MT but some people are just not cut out for a MT no matter how much they try.... Do what you want and what makes you happy... its your car that all that matters... I will say the AT in this car is one of the best I personaly have ever driven.... Good luck and post pics of what you get...

Just wanted to point out that, as you wrote, the Z's 7AT is excellent - if that's what the OP gets he won't be "settling" for anything.

OP - As you can see, there are some pretty strong opinions on this topic. I've driven both ATs and manuals over the last 40+ years, and I can assure you that the Z's 7AT is second to none. It's very enjoyable to drive, IMHO just as enjoyable as the 6MT (but, of course, in a different way). I've had my Z going on 6 years now and have never regretted purchasing the 7AT version.

And, again just IMHO, don't listen to these guys saying that you shouldn't get a Z as your first manual transmission car. Learning how to drive a manual Z isn't any different than learning how to drive a manual on any other passenger car. If you want a 6MT, go for it and have someone who knows how to drive a manual take you to an empty parking lot or dirt lot and show you how. It won't take long to learn, and before long you'll be driving your Z with a big grin on your face! Oh yeah, and I'd definitely recommend that you get the Sport or Sport/Touring model (for more reasons than just the SynchroRev Match feature).

Whichever transmission you choose, you'll be buying a great car and will have a lot of fun with it!
