At the end of the day, it’s what YOU enjoy driving. 2 things about this car: 1. He makes new memories with me since it’s a new one. 2. He gets to hold my hand. 😌
I have an '09 Touring with paddle shifters. I get a lot of negative comments about it. My only gripe, and it's a minor one, with the paddle shifters is, to me, sometimes I want the back end of the Z to ...sort of drift around a corner every now and then (yes with draconian-era traction control off). It's hard to maintain that slight drift with paddles. Certainly not enough for me to say, "gee, I need a clutch." And I know a few owners of the Z34 series that have had that dreaded CSC issue. I do kind of wish that paddles were mounted to the wheel, closer to my hands, so I can keep both hands on the wheel while shifting. But if I tracked my Z ...and I'd love to, I'd have to have a manual. So much easier to maintain RPMs getting into a corner, and exiting. But I don't track and just have fun on open roads. My current Z fits the billet perfectly for my needs.
Nice man, happy to hear from another Z owner. CSC was def a thing which happened to me. But yes otherwise this car serves all of my needs as an auto as well, it’s all preference/situation 👌🏼 thanks for your feedback !
@@onsite_nate yeah bro went into limp mode coming back from a party. Had to drive home going 40mph in second gear lol. Read the codes the next day and they both point towards a failing valve body. They're 1100-2000 brand new from Nissan.

6 speed, manual transmission, rear-wheel drive is a formula you simply can not beat :)
good looks, 6 speed and a rwd is definitely the standard 💪🏼

I have a 2018 370Z NISMO tech and it's a automatic and I love it I hope you enjoy your automatic like I enjoy mine
we’re one of the few 🙏🏼 glad you’re enjoying yours
If you wanna go fast auto is better, if you want to feel more like a part of the driving mechanics manual is the way to go
Sounds exactly right, this guy must be really smart
Automatic is superior, sorry but true.
we’re rare breeds in the car world internet 💪🏼
Its difficult to fire one up if im shiftung all the time. 😅
😂 should’ve thrown this in
Dude if I had the money I would in a heart beat cause I can’t drive a stick no more one reason I don’t have a m series bmw

No, never.

I prefer AT’s myself and see absolutely nothing wrong in owning one. Subbed!
thanks man! The autos in these are pretty underrated imo
