I don't believe dyno tests show a significant difference between the two - 370z.com Magazine shows 7AT stock at 267hp / 220 ft-lb versus a 6MT stock at 262hp / 210 ft-lb (different days, same dyno), so the 7AT really gives up nothing at the wheels either.

No, what it gives up is the satisfaction of driving the car.

In automatic, car drive you!

You're right, feathering the clutch with those paddle-shift...oh wait. There is no clutch. There's an old viscous coupling known as a torque converter. Pass.
