    nice ride, just a side note though (you don't need a $1000+ camera to get nice pics)

    hes wrong either way, it was 2007 when they introduced the 306hp High-Rev Vq35, 03-06 only had 287bhp from the factory, so given the drivetrain loss, etc you probably have around 240whp bud. thats what most stock Z's throw anyways.

    You can get a decent camera for 200 bucks or less.

    no...

    your right in 2006 they received the REV-UP variation of the regular VQ35 to 7000rpm and 300hp, but 2007 was when they actually got the VQ35HR 306hp and 7500rpm. trust me dude, ive had 2 Z33's in my family, previous one was an 04 and current is a 08 i would think i would know what i am speaking. but none the less, gl with your car.

    yea its like woohoo!!!! 10 extra "USABLE" horsepower hahah. i could care less. the one we got had Nismo intakes and exhaust put on it at the dealership though.. it probably has around 290whp, calculating the numbers in my head, not dyno proven. but thankyou nissan for putting carbon fiber drivelines in the newer models!

    why not? it isn't any less of a car for being AT. alot of new sporsts cars are coming in AT only, so I dont think it matters anymore. besides it is still exciting to drive. it also atm is serving as my daily driver since my 200sx blew out.

    i think the nismo were putting out a little more power than that, though i'm not sure (don't make nismo roadsters)

    Only the high dollar sports cars with auto/trip tronic tranny's work properly and effectively. Most are sluggish and boring.

    ...? It is 100 times more fun to drive a manual tranny. Besides, the 6 speed in the Z's feel awesome, I love driving it. Just because its a DD doesn't mean it can be a stick?


    And yeah, in every slush box I've ever driven with tiptronic, the shifts were sluggish and not very crisp. Plus the computer overrides your decision of what gear you want to be in half the time.

    Haha, and I drive an automatic now since the L's never came with manuals, and thats the biggest flaw of the truck. That and not putting forged rods in it.

    I'm not sure what AT you have driven but this is glass smooth. the computer wont let me drive 80mph in first gear so... yeah it overrides silliness. other than that the tiptronic drives like a manual, and wont let you break your car. i dont ever use it though, its boring and the computer will shift better than me or any human 100% guaranteed.

    i'm not sure where you get 100times more fun from, sounds like an opinion. i agree, certain things are very fun to drive as MT, the Z is one. but the Z is equally as fun and can do everything the MT can do, as an AT.

    besides, it is a convertible, not a coupe and i never will expect it to have the same performance value as a coupe. i have alot more drag than the coupe.

    Nice car. I get tired of people posting negativity. It's your car, not theirs. Why would the OP care if you like automatics or not? Convertibles? Pfft. His car, let him enjoy it

    Nice buy.

    Don't get so worked up about the other peoples oppinion. There's no point in trying to get "your" oppinion across when the other persons oppinion different. Its like arguing which football team is better. So just ignore and continue on.

    Now, with that said, I don't really like the roadsters but a lot of people do.

    yeah but the 370z is only faster on paper, or if you pay the cash to get the computer tweeked, other than that it is governed out
