All AMG 's come with automatics..
Nothing wrong with a really good automatic...New technology is great.
Go back twenty years and you would NEVER buy an auto for road racing,,It would hesitate and then all of a sudden downshift and the compression would break the rear tires loose , and you could never time when the thing would down shift..
Modern automatics are way different now..I raced a friend twice in his 5.0 and my 350Z...I drove it manually once and then once i just left it in auto and drove it hard...
The car responded like a champ..Now in the 370Z, the auto is very cool, and I have always been an manual tranny purist.
I also drove the AMG and man that thing was way cool..Automatic but you could care less..Throw it in sport mode and let the fun begin..
The Z/28 is a close ratio 4 speed..If it was an automatic, i would have wrecked it years ago..
