god o god, stop buying this car in automatic. For crying out loud, I'm not andretti but it is certainly a sin to buy the coupe in an automatic. If you must purchase an automatic, wait till the convertible comes out so you can ride along with the 25 year old ladies who buy the car "cause it's pretty". I don' t mean to hate, but c'mon.... really!!!!

I've read numerous posts about how the auto is quicker and that is all well and good, but its still a sports car and thus should not EVER be purchased with a slushbox, paddles or no paddles.

For all you know it alls, even though i started the post with padle shifter help I do know a little common sense ideas about automatics.
1. I live in Tampa Florida, not some po dunk town with no traffic, therefore an automatic makes so much more sense to have in a highly populated area. 2. nothing shifts more precisely and efficient like an auto. Yes a manual has more control for the driver but tons and tons of peope have no idea how to drive a sports car like the Z correctly. 3. This is America where people have choices on things like manual vs automatic. The engines are designed the same no matter the transmission, so if someone likes an auto, it doesnt mean their vehicle is less than yours or that they are a wimp or dont know what they are doing. Have some respect when people start informational threads. dont come in here bashing other members over personal choice. keep the forum cool please |

2. I am quite sure I have no idea how to drive the car correctly, but I drive the piss out of it anyway, its a toy and I treat it like one. 3. Sure you have a choice, engine is the same. Of course the vehicle is less, absolutely they are wimps and no you don't have a clue of what your doing (wasn't that what the post was about). All that being said, I'm not bashing, I just don't understand, I'm ignorant if you will. It's cool, it's just my opinion. Sorry for sharing. |

It shifts faster and harder than most people can do with a manual. I've barked the tires plenty of time on launch...and when it goes from 2nd to t3rd, and occasionally from 3rd to 4th... This car changed my perception of what an automatic can be. |

Also if you look at the new Porsche 911 turbo, the paddle shifting has a faster 0 to 60 than the manual... Down to the point having control over the gears by using the paddles is a manual without the clutch... |
