. Whichever one you're comfortable with, go with that transmission.

That's what I said

0 to 60 comparisons and manual vs. auto. This thread is doomed.

Both automatic and manual transmission in the new Z is superb! You can't go wrong with either one. The new Z with Automatic Transmission feautures electronically controlled 7-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode, Adaptive Shift Control (ASC), Downshift Rev Matching (DRM) and standard paddle shifters.

And the 6-speed close-ratio manual transmission is available with “SynchroRev Match,” the world’s first synchronized downshift rev matching manual transmission allowing perfectly matched heel-toe-like downshifting.

But despite my distaste for having a stick in a commuter car, it's been ingrained into me that sport cars should have a manual, while "muscle cars" can get away with autos.

LOL!! Have fun on the 10 my friend!! When I go into the office, I usually leave before all the traffic hits!! I will think of you in rush hour traffic next week!!

After a chat with my wife tonight, I think I will be going 7AT. It will be tough enough for me to just bring the Z home! Again, I will not loose that battle, but do not mind loosing the Trans battle. I will get a Nismo 370Z a few years down the road to complement my 7AT...

...If I still have a job!!!
