2015 nismo tech 6mt or auto ??
Im planning on getting the 2015 Nismo tech soon, i learned manual , not fully but the basic. So after driving a manual, in traffic it was a pain in the *** holy ****. i live in ny long island, long island traffic is insane. i loved my auto 2013 touring sports, got totaled. Now I'm really second thinking on the manual nismo tech. this is my daily driver and i know many of you daily drive your manual but i just can't get used to it. idk what to do .. I never track my car, i will never put force induction, i just love the Z cause of the performance, looks, I'm not a racer, I want the nismo for cursing and knowing i have 350hp in the palm of my hands for some fun ... so idk what to do. haha

honestly i prefer MT in congestion over AT. MT is less strain for me in bumper to bumper unless im in SF or somewhere there's lots of bigarse very steep hills.
big factor of owning a sports car is for you to enjoy it. if you're more comfy in a AT, get the AT and enjoy it. |

You can't get used to it because you're probably just practicing here and there on a friend/family members car, right? You aren't going to get a 100% comfortable with a manual until you actually buy one and get a bunch of hours behind the wheel. I say go for the 6mt, but I'm out numbered here by the 7at boys so I'm sure the majority is going to say auto. Good luck with your decision.

Where is the 6mt vs 7at argument? Someone posts they love their (*insert transmission type here*) in a random thread, and the (*insert opposite transmission type here*) crew shows up in force to start $hit. But then someone starts a new thread on whether they should get MT or AT and no one jumps on it?
OP, I love my manual. By the internet associative property, you must as well or else you are less intelligent than me. I think you know what needs to be done

A minor detail like that has never prevented the argument before

I bought a 7AT for the same reasons your thinking about buying one and I love the car. I don't regret buying the auto at all. It's now a track car for the most part and I still love the 7AT. I bought a Audi TT as a DD and I miss driving the Z every time I'm in it.
