Well once the 'new car' excitement wears off, the boredom of it being automatic takes over. if the car isn't fun to drive then you'll get bored of it. MT keeps it exciting for longer. i'm only selling mine because of the 300zx... it really makes no sense to have two 2 seater sports cars in NY. Might as well get rid of the slower one and get something more practical. Having the 370z as my only car never bothered me. But when its 1 of 2 cars and i still can't take more than 1 passenger in any vehicle its kind of silly.

I think another factor is whether or not people have a DD. If you have a slower less fun DD then the Z retains its excitement more. If you DD your sports car, yea its awesome but you get used to it, and bored of it more quickly. I drove a friend's acura TL this weekend for a while on a little trip. It was slow, needed struts, and the rotors were warped. After a few hours of driving that my Z felt like an F1 car
