2015 nismo tech 6mt or auto ??

So the manuals in the 370z are kinda finicky, tricky to get used to. All I've ever driven my whole life is manuals and this thing was honestly a pain in the *** to get used to for me. The engagement point is somewhat vague. So I'd say get the auto its faster as well.

Don't listen to them OP, don't turn to the dark side! Get the 6mt, I'm telling you after a good solid week behind the wheel you'll be fine. Hills may take a little more time to master.

I wouldn't get the nismo in auto. I like my 7at but getting the nismo in at would be a no-no for me.

I wouldn't want to sit in ****** up traffic jam in a 6mt all day long every day.

I'd freak out lol

This thing is kinda fun though

plus with the rjm clutch adjustment (from what I hear) makes a huge difference.

RJM makes a huge difference.

In terms of the weight argument. The AT still gets better MPG and 0-60, and since that extra ~50lbs is low in the car and centered it won't hurt handling that much. I just go with MT because I'm a purist snob haha. Never driven an AT 370Z but I've heard good things!

Hmm might have to look into this for future mods.

Off topic, but I wonder how well the new Nismo's are selling.

I'm sure there isn't that many yet so I'm sure their selling pretty much as fast as they get them at thus point I would think. I love that front end on em so good oh and the duck bill want the duck bill.

You would have to go to the dealership and order one would be my guess.

it would be a nice addition. also would raise the price a decent bit i would assume. it would pull it above the current target market segment.

i mean you could say they dont want to pull GT-R customers to the Z if they offered a DCT but i dont think that would be true since if you're able to have a GT-R i highly doubt a Z is a comparable choice based on it having a DCT as well lol

now the eau rouge not having a DCT is done to not drawn GT-R customers based on having the same engine lol
