omg...

I almost thought about dealing with them when I was looking for my Z.

I think forum member miguez was working with them, too.

Good gawd, doesn't Nissan do a better screening for potential dealerships. Is their service department any better or do they greet you with a banjo versus a guitar? :icon14:

LMFAO!!! That was funny.

Dealerships do what they can to get attention, and they sure got yours :)

So much so that I just can't wait for their GT-R rendition. :icon14:

I guess you gotta sell cars some how!!

Can you guys help me out? I can't decide between the automatic, or the 7 speed paddle shifter. Which one is faster? :rolleyes:

^^ That will depend on your driving habits. With an automatic, you just mash the pedal and go. With the paddle shifters, you eliminate the clutch pedal, but you still have to shift. So if you can flick your fingers fast... you get the point. Personally, I would go with the paddle shifters!!

Seriously though, I am going to test 'D' versus the paddle shifters whenever I finally get down to the drag strip. I think D doesn't shift quite as aggressively, we'll see.

LOL, thanks. I was actually being a smartass and refering to the dealership owners comment that the new Z came with an automatic transmission "OR" paddle shifters. But I can see how you might have thought I was asking the question that Wstar just answered.

I believe you would be better suited with a semi-automatic! :tup:

I know... hence my "if you can flick your fingers faster" :ughdance:

Why hold the guitar if you're not going to bust it out? I want my damn 44 seconds back!
