Since I/we still don't know much & ^^^^^ that is correct, I may buy a low mileage 2012(best year) used to keep for a couple of years.
I know what colors I like. White, black, red in that order. The thing I'm wrestling with is what trans? In the past, never in a million years would I drive an auto trans. sports car, but things have changed.
I like to drag race a few times a year. Something I liked & did when I was 20yrs. old. Today I'm almost 65 & with my 08 350z not only did I have to drive 3 hours each way, but I had to change 4 tires before then after drag racing. That's 16 times taking off then screwing back up tires. Well driving & doing all that now may not be as much fun
So I'm considering committing a sin, getting an automatic. I won't do 12.4's like with my N/A 350z & of course I would NOT attempt go after the 370z bolt on record. I think that there would be no problem doing high 12's with just test pipes, a good tune, my old 3:90 gears/pumpkin, & a set of M/T street/drag radials.
I also like bracket racing. With those radials, I can just drive to the track, have a cup of coffee & go drag racing. Done well with my 6 spd, with an automatic it will be much easier & fun racing & winning trophies/cash.
Auto trans or MT? 2012 or a new 2013/2014 car if there's a huge incentive? Don't care for the sidelight/front of the new ones. What to do????
