drove one 7AT and bought one the following week.

:tiphat:

:tup:

after driving the 7AT i was sold also, not to mention (again) they are the fastest too :stirthepot:

sorry that facts and figures that prove my side wins equates to a "piss poor response" in the eyes of the MT faithful.

the fact that there's no long pause between loud and loud because you MT boys suck at rowing gears doesn't change the fact of what is happening.

man, this may be your most asinine comment thus far or just a super poor troll attempt.

you MT boys really need to shake off the rust and come back tomorrow to try again.

:shakes head:

TBF, in auto mode, after market exhaust sounds cheesy.

A DCT though. :drool: Sounds amazing. And those perfect shifts with that pop and fireball. :drool: :drool:

I have to admit, the M6 in the 370z makes me feel like I have no idea what I am doing...that clutch engagement point *smh* - the RJM clutch pedal does make it easier but even after driving it for over a month+, it still makes me feel like a noob!

I drove my buddy's Camaro ZL1 and even though he has a twin disc clutch, shifting was SUPER smooth! Still, wouldn't trade in my MT for a slushbox :P I'll take a DCT, though!

have you even driven the 370 with a 7AT?

if you have I highly doubt you'd call it a "slush box". it's far from it and its actually one of (if not) the best AT (non-dct) I've ever driven.

I have not driven a recent one, I remember one a while back, 2010 or so? It was nice but I think the fastest "slushbox" I've driven is from the Lexus IS-F...now those shifts were QUICK!

just in case you 6mt homos forgot :stirthepot:

I'll be the first to say Automatic is faster :)
Just sounds funny going down ;)

:mad: why you gotta be all logical :gtfo2:

I know the AT boys like dicks

It's relevant because the retarded 7AT changing gears makes nice sounding aftermarket exhausts sound crappy. It is a special skill of the 7AT only :ugh2:

Also, there's only a pause between gears when driving/shifting casually in the city. You won't find any pause in my shifting when I'm pushing her :driving:



Oh how I love this thread :rofl2:

oh baby :nutswinger:

Get a video with your exhaust in traffic with the shifter in D (no manual mode or paddle shifters) and post it up. I want to see how it sounds with the "fast" AT computer controlling the shifts :icon17:

I don't know what this "D" mode that you speak of is therefore it does not exist.

I used to have a 335i before and I know with my exhaust, I would always be using the paddles...
