![]() I got the 6MT sport package since I like shifting an MT and that SRM makes it sweet. As far as I am concerned the AT/MT argument is really personal preference. Most of you guys that think AT is a waste of time have probably never driven one in anger. The fact is, in this day and age AT performance on performance cars have improved to the point that, all other factors being the same (car, age, HP, Torque, driver skill, etc.) the AT will invariably win. It has no care about the type of racing either, road or drag racing. Tech is improving performance across the board so get used to it. And the DCT is just going to get better and better and more available as time marches on. Here watch this video about the Porsche 911 Turbo S ... OK, not fair you say, $200K car you say. It's where it starts. And that PDK is on the Cayman as well, and it rocks and I'm betting has similar longevity if not exactly the same. Ok, I'm done.

I absolutely love technology, I work for a robotics company, but when it comes to cars I guess I like the old technology for at least some parts. Old Porsche 911 turbo whale tale, with the old school mt, is one of my dream cars. This thread is very good for both manual and automatic drivers, shows that people are different and passionate about things and that's what keeps life interesting. Although for the most part it's just to take jabs at each other.

I think we've figured this out...
The MT guys can shift well and drag race in a straight line and the AT guys can actually win at a road course with excellent driving skills other than rowing a shifter and pushing a clutch pedal. ![]() BTW, I'm not an AT lover or fan I'm a MT guy (still have my s2k). However, I think the 7AT on the Z is quite nice and better than the 6MT I test drove in 2011 when I was buying. I felt the 7AT fit my needs and I also thought the 6MT felt clunky. To each their own. As long as you drive a Z you're cool enough for me. ![]() Last edited by 11Thumper; 02-27-2015 at 05:05 PM. |
