i'm on the east coast. i found mine in louisiana. called the guy, got on a plane, handed him a check, and drove it home from LA to PA lol 12** miles.

mine as you can see by the sig is a 09 sport/touring/nav 7AT and i got it with 1800 miles on the dash. almost matched that on the ride home lol i paid a very nice price too

i love when people talk shit on the auto......then get beat

i still to this day have never lost to any N/A 350/370

a TT 350 raced me once for fun. doesnt matter what transmission you have in that one he then cranked his boost to beat a GT-R the next race but went home on a flatbed after

Sounds to me like the AT would suit the OP better. I live/work/play in and around NYC, and both my Z and my beater are MT. Never been an issue for me. It's all about preference. I'm a competitive guy. I like doing things that are not necessarily always the easy way...hell, I turned the syncro-rev match off after the test drive, and never turned it back on.

To me, there is nothing like getting that perfect downshift on a manual transmission vehicle. It doesn't happen every time...but when it does...damn. Driving stick is just....fun.

I do, however, believe that buying a manual transmission just because people break your balls about owning an automatic is the height of stupidity. Do what you want, and enjoy the hell out of it.

P.S. Ladies love the stick.
