Hello from Spain

GTFR · 01-08-2009, 10:16 AM

Whats up everyone I live in Barcelona, Spain and hopefully I can soon purchase the new Z..I'm looking at the sport pack + 7speed twin clutch gearbox..we still dont have the release dates and the prices though but they should come out soon! Hope to learn a lot of new stuff about the 370 especially because I dont like my car stock...and I already got some ideas for the Z

I currently drive a 2007 Seat Leon FR with twin clutch DSG gearbox and a lot of extras

there are a couple of pics!

yeah the car is very similar to the gti its got the same chasis, same engine, same dsg gearbox and a lot of the mechanics is shared..the main difference is the esthetics!

Welcome to the forums. That's unique car you have there! I should take this time to mention that the 7AT on the 370Z is NOT a DSG or Twin clutch. It's a traditional automatic gearbox with rev match.

We are glad to have you here. BTW, do you know when the Z will go on sale over there?

Welcome! I have to say that after going to Barcelona this past summer it is one of my favorite places I have traveled to (and I have been a lot of places).

GTFR · 01-08-2009, 07:18 PM

Yeah its said to come out in April 2009. So pretty soon...no prices announced yet though..but as usuall it will be more expensive than in the US...im calculating around €45,000+..thats around $60,000+

ohh nooo!!

i have to admit i thought it was a twin clutch..i guess because the GTR has a twin clutch automatic and of all the twin clutches coming out right now as the dsg or the sst i took it for granted the Z was as well...

quick question then, does it still offer the benefits of a twin clutch such as the incredibly fast gearshifts or is it like a typical "lame" automatic?? i read some reviews and some on this forum as well, they said it was great but now im worried

Welcome to the site.

Even after living in England and Italy for a total of 12 or 13 years, Barcelona is probably my favorite city. I'm jealous.
