Si to 350Z to 370Z

Congrats on the new ride! I've not driven the AT but have heard good things. The only thing that gives me pause is that I hate the look of the shifter and gates.

Thanks everyone for the welcome! Honestly, I was expecting to get hated on bc I got an auto, rather than a manual. At least that what happened on my350Z.com when I posted my new ride.

i thought i would regret buying an auto, but i love it more each day. the auto tranny performs shockingly well. the sensitivity of the throttle response is like if the car knows what my right foot wants it to do.

Congrats on the purchase. So the three of us seem to live pretty close.. I am in Hernando County. Close to pasco .

Same sentiments with the 7AT, manual all my life til the Z. I am happy.

Welcome brother

Welcome...autotragic lol. The manual gearbox on a sport 370z is slightly above average so I can't hate too much. Still manual is the way to go! Jk, I think purist manual drivers are endangered species.

Thanks man!

Look at us, tri-county representation lol, as i stay in hillsborough county. I don't know what it is about the Z auto tranny. Though it's not like the dct in the gtr, maybe it's a placebo effect, but something about the Z auto tranny feels different than other autos i've driven.

someone actually told me "What a waste of a car" at a redlight bc of the auto tranny

but then again, it came from a kid in a older model civic with the altezza lights that used to be cool when i was in 8th grade.

Im right there with ya Buddy..Traded in my2000 S2000 and was hesitant about the 7 speed auto. But I totally am enjoying the power on tap..I do miss driving the s at times, but like many others will say, unless your driving on a track you really do need to drive the S like you stole it and at times in daily driving it was just a drian on the enjoyment. If I were wealthy enough I would have kept the s and Z, but I am more than satisfied with the 370..Congrats my friend and drive safe. This forum is a wealth of good information and really keeps the excitement of owning a z alive..

I saw your introductory thread a few weeks back and again, welcome and congrats man! i've always wanted an AP2 s2k and when i see one even today, i still give the driver a thumbs up. and yeah, i sometimes do miss rowing through the gears, and my left foot still looks for the clutch pedal before starting, but i'm def. happy about going auto and no regrets. i dont know about you, but when i went from my Si to my 350Z, that was when i knew what torque felt like
