the AT's might be faster on paper, i dont know and dont care, but why not learn to drive MT and not halfarse yourselves? it's one thing to be able to drive MT and yet choose AT vs not being able to drive MT and settling on a AT. if you're going to settle on a car just get a toyataha |

you guys are nuts!!! the 350z is a turtle in comparison to the 370Z...the throttle response on the 350z is more touchy so it adds to the feel, but its a false impression. You dont feel the speed of the 370Z as much because its much more refined and smooth, the power band is excellent. But trust me the 370Z is way faster, the times speak for themselves... Especially then the 06 revup...the 03-05z had excellent torque...the HR was everything the 350Z SHOULD have been from the get go....As i remember it, the the revup engine was the slowest. I had an 06 and 03.

1) One of the major auto magazines (Motor Trend, IIRC) timed the AT and the MT and the AT did in fact turn out to be slightly faster (00-60 time, again IIRC). 2) The idea that anyone is "settling on" an AT is pure  . Just because you prefer an MT doesn't mean that anyone else is "settling" for a 7AT or that they are "halfarsing" themselves. I bought the 7AT because I prefer it for what I'm using the car for. And I definitely know how to drive an MT (damn near 40 years experience, I currently drive my modded '72 Corvette with a 383 when I feel like driving an MT). Your generalizations are pretty moronic.
