Without getting into a debate about "manual vs. automatic," is the auto as quick as the manual?
Back to the driving experience. Even though I plan on a Sport model, the Touring was a very enjoyable car to drive.
The 370Z is amazing. I got the opportunity to get down on the hammer, and also tour some back roads. I love the tight, direct handling, and IMO the transmission responds well with use of the paddles.
FWIW, the Mustang is not on my radar screen any longer. I still love it, and still think it's an awesome car, but the 370Z just makes more of a connection with me.

Without the debate all the numbers I've seen posted on this site, or anywhere else put the AT numbers as good or better than the manual. That being said I chose manual for the fun of driving.
