As a transmission technician I give the automatic A7 transmissions in our Z’s credit as they shift very effectively in stock form and are reliable and dependable to use for street or track duty but if you plan on using your Z for heavy track duty if you choose the automatic A7 transmission I highly recommend upgrading it before hand. I have seen the automatic A7 transmissions in our Z’s last 200K+ miles just really depends on how you use your Z and if you service your automatic A7 transmission on time. I have to agree there is nothing like a manual transmission in the Z very enjoying to drive! I would never own a Ford or Mazda again though when they say fix or repair daily they were not kidding.
