This. I think the manual tranny on the Z is garbage. Chatters, whines, throwout bearing roar, rubbery shifts, etc. I come from an s2k too and that thing was nirvana. There is a difference between the tranny being loud and shaky in a good way and loud and shaky in a bad way, and the z's manual is the latter. The auto however is excellent.

Which is stronger and more fun .. 7-speed automatic transmission or 6-speed manual transmission for 370z?

You could fireman carry it, or if you're in a Sporty mood, tuck it close to the body like a football.

I drove my buddies 350 manual and it was fun. I love my AT 370 cuz I get lazy sometimes and the paddles are more than enough when I want to shift myself and hit some high rpms. To each their own. This is America damnit! We're free to pick any transmission we want!
