6 Speed Manual or 7 Speed Automatic?

ichris14 · 01-03-2011, 06:37 PM

Just wondering, which is faster, the 6 speed manual or the 7 speed automatic transmission?

Vegitto-kun · 01-03-2011, 06:39 PM

7AT is faster.

(waits for the shitstorm to come)

Should have searched but Vegitto-kun is correct

hides from imminent attack*

The 7speed is apparently faster... In a straight line. Don't get me wrong, I own a 370Z auto but I'm sure the 6speed would be faster on a track with lots of turns and brake intensive. I love my auto as my DD though.

I like charburgers and cheese fries.

I'd have to say the six speed. I don't have any solid facts to compare to. The six speed has less moving parts. Thus meaning the six speed would not lose as much power threw the drivetrain as an auto. That to me would seem to rev faster also.

Since you're new? the 7AT has been proven to be faster but by a very small margin.
Next time please try searching, and if you have before posting? let everyone know you at least tried.

Depending on the driver.

sonic370 · 01-03-2011, 08:25 PM

ask a MT guy and it's the MT
ask a AT guy and it's the AT.

hope that helps.........

It is a Sport Car MT even if it is a tit slower. However it will depend on the driver!
