I can not find the answer.

Based on 2014 370Z coupe specs it is about a 40lb + addition for the AT.

Not going to lie learning to drive a 6MT was somewhat annoying at first because of where I live. All stop and go traffic, and then the NJ turnpike at 6pm is ridiculous. But after a couple of months it really becomes second nature. At first I was regretting it but now I don't even think about it. I say get the 6mt. You'll pick up rather quickly as most do. They say once you own a MT you never go back.

**** it all buy a 6mt and never look back no regrets. Don't waste your months of learning to drive a stick. You did it for a reason, you wanted to be a better person.

I've got a solid red 2015 nismo tech manual.. be a man. Get a MANual

mishuko · 11-21-2014, 03:11 PM

buy what you want... just make sure you will be happy with your choice because at the end of the day you are the one paying the bill and you will be the one living with the vehicle.

and instead of taking opinions from us for at vs mt, take some responsibility and pick the tranny that you want and live with it. or take a hit and resell it and get the other one (don't worry you'll only be throwing away the taxes, delivery, fee's etc etc etc and maybe 5-10% sticker value of depreciation)

you have no one to blame but yourself for your choice. be a man do the right thing, grow a pair and live with your choices. or if you're a girl... uh... yea... disregard my previous statement

or he can be smart, get an auto, smack manuals around everyday street or track (preferrably track for forum rules reasons), and not have a left leg thats twice the size of the right from traffic driving.

the only reason why you smack 'mannies' around is because you got a freakin PANSY system going on there...

This is turning into the "It's nawt a skirt, its a fookin' kilt" debate again...

Personally, in this debate, I'd side with the crazed gent holding the 5 foot claymore... he sounds pretty serious, whereas the other guy is overly concerned with who sees whose ankles.

Anyway, dude, just test drive both, and base your decision on that.

The whole "me make fire with flint and tinder like mighty hunter -- why you no want make fire like man too!?" bullshit is stupid on many, many levels.

If you will feel like a big wuss in your 7AT Nismo (which, weirdly, no one at Nissan thought would embarrass the Japanese, as that was an option going back to '09 ...), and feeling that way will spoil your fun, then by all means get the 6MT and enjoy all the hearty back slaps, fist bumps and smug nods of approval that await all members of the 3-pedal faithful

I mean, why else would you buy a car except for the admiration of strangers on the internet???

A final thought: If performance isn't the issue for folks (although it sure as hell would be if the 7AT were slower, I suspect...), but rather "feeling connected", and the OP apparently will not feel that way for a good while, then is this all about browbeating a stranger into mastering a new skill?

If so, OP, I say, buy the 7AT so you can enjoy driving right away and invest the time in mastering a 2nd language -- much more useful skill, and if you stumble on a word, you won't hold up traffic.

The guy already made a decision. He stated in a previous thread that he is currently negotiating for a Nismo tech 6mt that is listed at 43k or something like that.

*NVM Jordo, looks like he wants to go 7AT now. Dude changes his mind on a daily.

Get the CVT

Blue Z34 · 11-21-2014, 09:10 PM

Guys I could see if the 7 speed was a dual clutch. Then maybe I could see someone making the choice to get that. I still wouldn't. But regardless.. its just a regular slushbox.. nothing fancy. Get the stick and short shifting kit if you feel it necessary and call it day. Be a man. Get a MANual. Roadhouse.
