2015 nismo tech in auto is the path I'm going with

evil370z

1st, I'm NEW driver to manual, i don't have a car i can practice manual in except the 2 times i drove manual and i wasn't comfortable at all., my dad is saying not to waste money on a beater manual, and a lot of people told me to get stick and a lot of people told me to get auto, guys it comes down to this. if I'm paying close to 50k for a car, i want a car I'm comfortable with, idc what anyone says at the end of the day im driving the car the way i like it. i don't want a manual nismo tech and then second thinking i should've got a auto. i LOVED my 13 z auto. so I'm planning on getting the 2015 nismo tech in 7 speed auto. can't wait. i want a car that ill be happy with.

You'd be comfortable with the manual inside of two weeks.

idk i just feel like i won't, the amount of love i had for my 13 Z auto was insane. i loved cursing in it. i don't want the headache of burning up the clutch or gears or constantly switching gears cause I'm new to manual and i have no car to practice on, getting a beater won't happen.

There's no need to get a beater. You won't kill the clutch or break anything. It would be second nature in a month. There's lots of reasons to get the auto, but yours isn't one.

If you have any desire to get the 6MT and are really that worried about it see if they offer classes around you. I know there is a few people who do it in SoCal and they supply the car.

These clutches on the 370's are a little finicky to say the least. Don't let that deter you from your decision though. I have a manual and love it! Like chuck said,you should be able to pick it up in a couple of weeks. There's a spring on the clutch peddle itself that you can remove that will make it a little easier as well.

People here make driving a mt z sound so much worse than it is. Once you get the hang of it you'll love it. It's nothing to worry about or a reason not to buy the mt if that's really what you want. Also, if you have big power plans later the auto paints you into a corner.

Auto = no option or little option that won't cost an arm or leg if you want more power.

Hey man,just giving him a heads up on this clutch,that's all. I've driven nothing but manuals,and the 370s is more of a tricky clutch than most. Definitely wouldn't have it any other way though.
