The Nissan 370Z is more powerful, lighter and faster than the 350Z. But has it lost some of its fun in a drive for greater performance? At 120 MPH in

That's funny at the end... I just did a decent burnout today in my 370z automatic with VDC turned off... apparently Ben Wojdyla needs to spend a little more time with the Z before he offers his "closer look" (what a joke)

Easy. Just put your foot on the brake pedal (in auto or manual mode), turn off vdc, rev to as much as possible (without the car moving), then simultaneously slam the throttle and let off the brake. In manual mode, you can get CRAZY long, multi-gear burnouts! So fun!
I wish people would give more credit to the auto transmission. I believe it's just as fast as the manual, plus, in auto mode, you've got a tranny that's almost as smooth as one in the recent 7-series!! |

After you got that figured out, then soon after, be prepared to shell out another $1200 to outfit the vehicle with some new rubber. ![]()

I drove the dealers 7At and 6 speed, both on sports models and had a blast with both. For me, the 7At is the best of both worlds and is probably faster overall than the manual. It would be interesting to see some times in comparable models with only the tranny being the difference. VIVA la difference.
I do not want to start a manual versus automatic flame. They are both great trannies. Quote:

at a stop light, some kid in a hooked up dodge neon (i know... funny) pulled up next to me and started revving his engine so i could hear his coffee can exhaust rattle. I put my car in manual mode and turned off VDC and accelerated pretty hard from a dead stop, peeled out for a good 3-5 feet... put a big grin on my face.
