Drive whatever makes you happy. I prefer manual, so all my cars are manual. If you prefer automatic, drive that. Why all the angst?

Frost fixed everything. He merged the 6MT and 7AT into a 6.5HT. It shifts twice as fast as the 7AT and it doesn't have a clutch pedal, but it includes a needle embedded in the shift knob that injects you with testosterone every time you touch it, so that you don't go all girly on us from not using a clutch pedal.

No.

I'd bet a pretty penny I could swap cars with you and get a better lap time in your 6MT than you could in my 7AT.

But I still like the manual. Rolling my own gears is more fun for me. Though I did consider an AT since WDC area is always in competition for the worst traffic in the nation.

Nissan UK specs the stick faster 0-60 than the manual. In fact all their 0-60 specs on their three 370z models seem a little conservative compared to what I read on here.

Seriously, do you like your car? Figuring out how to shift the 7at as someone mentioned, redline shift, repeat. if it takes more than a week to figure out how to drive your sports car in a sporty fashion just leave in drive and pretend the paddles arent there or trade it for something else less sporty.

LOL. Don't be mad bro. I only wanted to find out how folks work their 7AT, the fella that mentioned redline for the first few gears learned me something. Will try it out someday.
