-Suit the character of the Z-Provides a level of driver involvement I believe an AT can never replicate

The 6MT in the 370z is not the most refined gear box but I love it, however I have to say the 7AT is very good at what it does.
That is a personal opinion : )

The GTR's auto is better than half the ferrari's, therefor confused as to why you wouldnt want it in a GTR? personal taste?

Since you seem to point purely at speed, try bullit's car.

Most drivers is the key and with little skill involved. Thus leaving room for the "really skilled drivers will post better times with the MT"

Otherwise they would have stated (ALL drivers will post better times with the AT). Also pure speed isnt the only deciding factor for buying a car or choosing the transmission. If speed was the only deciding factor, you should have gone without the touring's added weight

---------------------------------

either way im playing both sides of the fence. Alot of people post "opinion" as fact.

although the real fact is this..

whatever makes the person who is paying for it, and driving it happy. And if people can't respect other people's decisions on that, then dont call yourself a car enthusiast, your just a arrogant jack.

oh and thats my opinion, not a fact
