Have you test driven a 6MT 37?

I think the G handles damn good stock. And that 370z aint got anything on this modded G!

I've driven both, and was impressed enough by the G37's handling and acceleration to put down a deposit for a 2010 model. That's a strong vote of confidence in anyone's book, to put money down to back one's opinion. I've also put the 370Z through its paces on the continent's western edge (Hwy 1), a twisting road with rock wall on one side and a 200 foot drop on the other. If I wanted pure sportiness out of a car, that one has the clear edge over the G. Don't get me wrong, I love the G coupe with it's refined interior, tech toys and rear seat, but it just doesn't live up to the handling and acceleration of the Z. I don't think you'd find many others here that would disagree with that, either.

And all this from a nube who doesn't even own a G37... yet.

6MT. Once in a blue moon I wish I had auto, but that feeling is pretty rare. I always wanted stick and finally got it. If my first car was manual, then I might've opted for an auto.

Good job, Mysticalism, in sorting through all this homerism and reaching the right conclusion for you. For the MT drivers, nothing replaces notching through the gears and commanding the tranny shifts with the skill of a maestro, even if your music isn't always perfect.
^^^ what he said. i mean i drive manual too, an 04 SiR, and i love the control of the gears. The delays in the automatic just kinda sucks lol but but ya... manual is fun... but it doesn't make you "a real men"
