i would like to just bring up something kind of ironic. Its pretty often that people compare similar cars like a mustang vs a camaro or w/e people say 'its a drivers race,' meaning that the difference between the times of the two cars are so insignificant that the skill of the driver and the choices he makes while driving are going to impact the race more than the physical car its self. There are stock mustangs that have beaten stock camaros, and stock camaro's that have beaten mustangs, and those are two different cars, and i'm sure ONE is most definitely 'faster' from the factory. Yet with our stupid 1/4 mile time debate between AT and MT people get so hung up on a 10th of a second and make it seem like its this insurmountable difference and that no matter what the 7at will be faster.
so i fail to see how when comparing two similar cars it can come down to being a 'driver's race' however when comparing the SAME car 370z MT vs 370z AT, it's somehow impossible for the 6mt to pull a better time. I hope everyone is happy with their transmission choice, but if you got a 7at just because it pulls a better trap time in motor trend i think you're pretty foolish. if the 6mt pulled a better trap time and you hated driving stick but just got 6mt because it was faster in a 1/4 mile i would say you are equally foolish. |

Damn this thread blew up quicker than I expected!
Yeah Alberto could have been a bit more tactful but I think he's got a valid point. It takes seat time to put down some good times, auto or manual. I've seen it happen just about every time I go to the track. Usually I'll met another Z owner whenever I go. Just about every time I see them run 14's then give up and never come back. Practice makes perfect. I like to think I've graduated from rookie status but I've still got some learning to do (read: shift faster!). So with that said, I'm packing up my stuff and heading to the track tonight! I can't let jnaut be the only Z at the track tonight! It's a bit warm this time of year here in south Florida, but I'm shooting for another 12.9x run tonight. We got a few other Z drivers coming out to watch the mayhem, hopefully someone will video tape jnaut make a few passes in RCZ's car. So can we cut the bullsh!t and start posting some time slips???
