Nissan on European site pubished some information in performance area.
From 0 to 100 Km/H
6MT --> 5.3 second
7AT --> 5.6 second

In Europe (especially in France) manual transmission are really popular. The 350Z was only availlable in MT. With 370Z, 7AT option is availlable.

The choice between MT and AT is not easy, and I always interrested to hear about quality (espically if change is fast and if there is a lag in manual mode) of this 7AT. If it has been a DCT, I think I will not hesitated.

When I look to ratio, 7AT seems a little bit strange compare to 6 MT. Especially gap between 4th and 5th are quite huge compare to gap betweh 3th and 4th. Note that 4th on 7AT and 3th on 6MT are very similar.
The 1st is really short on 7AT, I don't know what Nissan did this choice.

Your comment will be appreciated.
