Getting a 370z soon, need opinions/questions answered

the_wiZard99 · 08-11-2012, 09:12 PM

I am getting a 370z soon. I am stuck between two colors (Gun Metal, White), which one? Why? Also, I love stick shift cars but the automatic seems amusing because of the paddle shift system. What would you prefer, why?

Thank You for your time!

- Get whichever one YOU like more. I've got some pictures of my gun metal Z in my profile if you wanna check it out.
- I've never driven a paddle shift car, but i like the good ole' stick. Just feels more aggressive I guess.

I love the white, but the gun metal is the next nicest color IMHO, and much easier to keep clean. As for auto versus 6 speed, I would never buy a vehicle like this in an automatic.

Is white a color? Or is it lack of color?

white is beautiful on the Z. I got the auto mainly because it's my daily driver. Going to work and school in traffic jams would drive me crazy especially in the mornings. Now if you have a DD get the manual! I find myself sometimes wishing I had gotten the 6 speed

Tribalpinoy91 · 08-11-2012, 10:43 PM

Depends on where your Z will be driven. If you'll be seeing mostly city i would choose the 7spd.

That logic does not make sense. On the highway you only use one gear - 5th or 6th. The city is where the manual shines. The real everyday race.

Until you have to shift gears 1000 times on your 30 minute commute. I've always had manuals and loved them, but I also leave for work when the roads are empty. If I had to drive in stop and go traffic everyday I'd definitely be looking for an auto DD.

Gun metal is about a billion times easier to maintain. hth.
