I went to waffle house today in my new 2010 370z. It had about 200 miles on it from test drives, etc. The dealer told me it didnt sell quickly because most drivers buying a 370 prefer a manual trans. Personally, i dont mind an auto trans. if it is in a car with at least a v6. However, another car enthusiast at waffle house today suggested i should have gotten a manual trans. because he knew alot of people whose transmissions had failed due to frequent use of paddle shifters, his main example was his own eclipse spyder. I think this guy was really only jealous, but what do you think? Am i risking my trans. if i use paddle mode to often or to aggresively. I think of the 370 as a serious performance car, that should hold up. I didnt buy it to putt around like its a family sedan.
