New 370Z Owner says yo!
 

I just bought a red 2010 370Z w/sports package. It's an automatic, but that's okay. I've driven manual shift cars in the past, and don't miss them. Besides, I'm really impressed with the responsiveness of the automatic transmission. However, I'm a newbie sports car driver; what do I know? Anyway, just want to say hi.

Welcome! :tup:

if you're gonna get an auto, this is the one to get. there are some things to discover, do a little searching on it. It's can be a very fun auto to drive

Yep it's a very good auto. Not quite one of the dual clutch gizmos but it's still very good stuff. Nothing for anyone to look down on you for. :tup:

Thanks for the Welcome
 

Thanks for the welcome, folks. I look forward to being part of the community.

Nice Car
 

:driving:Thumbs up

Welcome! I had a choice between the auto and the standard and went with the auto because I can't eat my burger, text and shift at the same time!

Thanks
 

Thanks.

Congrats! I went for the manual, been driving an auto for way tooo long. She's a fun little car either way ;D

AT vs MT
 

Yea, I know what you mean, not to mention that my wife hasn't learned to drive a stick. She hasn't driven the Z yet, but she could if she wanted, since it's an automatic. I've driven/owned manual shift vehicles in the past, but I definitely prefer the convenience of an automatic transmission. Besides, with the computers that they have in these cars, is the performance gap between MT and AT significant? I know that my AT 370Z seems to shift really quickly. Disclaimer: I am not a professional driver. ;)

9 times out of 10 the 7AT is quicker than the 6MT in the 1/4 mile. :)

lol. :tup:

LOL! Although mine is an automatic, if my wife touches my Z, the gloves are off!!! That's loss of fingers in some countries!

Welcome to the forum!

LOL. Today, I was at a paddle tournament with my wife in which she was a participant. Some of her girl friends asked her whether my Z was hers. She said, "No. It's my husband's car." One of her girl friends responded with, "It's your husband's car so it's your car." My wife responded with, "No. It's his car." That's a good wife. :D

Yes, she is. :tup:
