If your not packing a stick then your a woman, or a tranny. Facts of life.

MT for life! After going from an Integra with a 5spd and then to a 2006 Subaru Legacy GT with an automatic transmission, I missed manual so much, that I took the hit and traded it in for a 2007 Subaru Legacy with a 6spd. There is nothing that disconnects you from your car more than having a slush box!!

lets not turn this into a 7at 6mt pissing match guys just want to see what the % is for each keep it civil and no 7at bashing ok.

I know many people here can't wait to test the Synchro Rev match but the new 7AT is nothing to joke about! They are saying it's one of the best they have yet to offer.

I love it in my G37S

Get a good grounding kit and the shifts are super fast as well as better throtel responce.

7 speed auto. I think people are going to be surprised when some of these car mags finally get around to testing the auto. It should be just as fast if not faster than the manual through the 1/4 mile and to 60mph... (This was certainly true for the VQ35HR). I'm not getting the auto because I think it's going to be faster though, I'm getting it because unfortunately I never learned to drive a stick.

Only 7AT for this L.A. traffic guy.

Its not too hard to learn my friend.
That being said , I 'm sick of a six speed as traffic increases here.
The 7SP auto is a huge win.
This transmission is going to test very well comapared to other paddle shifters from the past and I imagine it will sway a lot of manual fanboys into the new niche of driving, and tuning.

I'd agree that the 7AT will run some good numbers AND be more consistent but I'm going to go with the 6MT simply for the fun-factor. Every car I've owned was a manual transmission, so I guess I'm used to dealing with traffic.

6MT for me. I'm a very competent heel&toe driver, but I can't wait to try the rev-matching widget in the new car.

2nd that. Maybe I will purchase the Nismo 370Z later as a MT. THEN I CAN HAVE 2!!

shumby 12-15-2008 03:19 PM

nogoodname 12-15-2008 03:23 PM
