I've driven stick for a number of years, but got my Z in the 7AT and I have no regrets. I see both sides of the "stick vs. auto" argument...but this isn't your typical auto. It has the paddle shifting or bump shifting and both are very responsive...plus the auto is going to shift to the next gear faster than any human could. When I had UpRev done...my tuner increased my shift speed so when I'm in manual mode...my shifts are much faster so you get that "manual" feel as well. Just my $.02; I mean...you can't really go wrong with either of your choices.
Enjoy your Z and welcome to the family!
