Ooooo...I have the answer:
~Buy which everyone you like.

Not trying to sound mean or anything, but there are many threads on this discussion already.

may i ask where since there is no transmission section on here.

This question has been discussed at length. The auto may be a tad quicker but not as fun as the manual but that's another topic.

according to car&driver, the auto is faster than the manual in 0-60 and 1/4 mile. here's the link: click here!

Automatic
Zero to 60 mph: 4.6 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.1 sec @ 108 mph

Manual
Zero to 60 mph: 4.8 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.4 sec @ 107 mph

from what i've seen in other threads, a lot of manual owners refuse to believe this and claim the manual driver sucked. or they try to justify the manual is better somehow because it has a clutch and sports cars are supposed to have manuals. this is the only test (that i'm aware of). until anything else is released, i will continue to believe this. i test drove both and got the auto because it's just as fun to me (don't really care to push the clutch pedal) - the paddles still kick nicely, and when i'm feeling lazy i just pop that puppy in "D". the manual is nice too. get what you like. at the end of the day you wont ever be the fastest...

edit: when someone says something is more "fun" than something else, it is subjective. thats why i recommend you try both. good luck.

The auto is a 10 second car. Manual runs in the 15s.

I kid, I kid

Actually I noticed a definate change in sound...deeper...which I like. I haven't had a tune or flash.....yet....but I think I will. For all the things I have on mine I'm quite pleased! :tup:

The hobby continues, though.....I say to myself, "OK! Thats IT! No more toys for my Z, I swear!".....ten minutes later I'm finding something I'd like to have......what an expensive darn hobby! :p
