Speaking of pansy and automatic transmission, that phone number is from a unisex salon here in NJ. Don't believe me, Google it. 201-432-6655

Let's all just call them manualmatics so both sides are happy. Put a little stick and a fake 3rd pedal for the ones who feel the need and call it a day

Fake 3rd? Pretty functional

I only drive with the paddle shifters, so I maintain the performance feel of the car and it requires both hands to shift gears (up/down). The only part of the equation that I am missing is pushing in the clutch with my leg, which isn't a big deal.

This is my second Z and first AT. I really enjoyed the feel of the paddles. Neither way is right or wrong, better or worse.

At cruising speeds on the highway, both are the same.

You're right, Raj. He's got a 6 speed + 1! Haha!

On a side note, hope your build is going well, bro!

Thanks bro, building this other Z has me tied up so the grey is on hold for awhile :/

I have a 7at, and have driven my friends 6 speed. With SRM it feels just about the same as driving in manual mode in my 7at.

And also, whether or not your balls are clean, doesn't everyone just scratch them for the hell of it?

My last auto was a 2010 FJ Cruiser which I bought new and was given a great deal for a fully loaded because it was the last one on the lot not to mention wifey a research nut case that told me that autos got better mpg vs sticks (FJ Forum).
A mistake as I would feel like a zombie driving it home from work since i could not tell how it would do passing cars...go figure (2 lane back roads that if your stuck behind an old lady texting your screwed).
Since I got my Z I've come alive and not that I drive like a crazy man but knowing which gear to be when I decide to pass a car makes me feel good and not to mention the adrenaline rush...o on that note is not what type of vehicle you drive is what driving conditions you encounter daily that would decide what transmission to have. If I lived in a city of course an auto would make sense but living in the woods with only 2 lanes to use and few passing zones you want a stick...

Never confuse education level with spelling and grammar ability. Being smart does not Apply.

I barely graduated high school and I have better spelling and grammar ability than most educated people than I have been around. Kinda funny when I give them hell about it.

Lets keep it civil and not make things personal.

No need to make it more than it needs to be.

Thank You...

What good is this thread if I can't attack an AT driver on a personal level?

Yo momma so lame she can't even drive a manual transmission!
