[OFFICIAL] Manual v. Automatic Thread

go drive an auto other than a 370Z, and move the shifter to a lower gear while driving, and you'll know what im talking about.

and the last comment, not sure if you are referring to me, but the 370Z is my first auto tranny, and have been driving manual ever since i got my license.

I understand the difference. I'm sure the crappy Sentra we traded in for the Z was just like that. But our shitty Acura ILX rev matches, and I've been DDing MT for the last 5+ years. So I have no real experience with ATs in recent years to relate.

I was not referring to you at all, but I definitely should have made some jab at you for driving an AT since this is the MT vs AT thread

had to get auto at the request of the wifey. otherwise, the other option was to keep my 350Z 6spd and it was time to trade.

though i miss rowing through the gears, surprisingly, no regrets on going auto and the auto on the 370Z is not bad, and the paddle shifters do add a nice touch.

So do guys with 7A use the paddle Shift so that they don't sound stupid with an aftermarket exhaust

An AT will always hold the drag record regardless of car. I don't give two ***** about 1/4. I don't buy cars for off the line. I like the twisties. All that being said I'm much more impressed by Phunk's qrt mile times than the time FI put up with an AT. At least Phunk was really doing all the work not just slapping a stick. But I would expect no less from a child of the entitlement generation. Always wanting things done for you

come to the dragon and we can play on the twisties.

AT still rules there as well.

funny thing is that when you go to you tube and see a video of a someone test driving a car they state"...but unfortunately we were given an AT to test dive"......wonder why would they say that
