You know what JT, you got a point. The car I first drove did have only 95 miles or so on it. Im sure the transmission isnt broken in on it (I know it took a little while to get my Stangs clutch to where I liked it). Im gonna drive one of the used Z's with some miles on now and see if theres a difference and im sure there will be. Have you driven one with the manual shift option on and auto? I drove one of those and it really is kinda cool!

I've heard nice stuff about them, and that they have a smoother shift, but I never had a real interest in them since most of my cars, except one (1983 380SL), are manuals.
To me, it would seem kind of strange shifting without having a clutch.
I'm a member of a 350Z club in my area and I know there's a few members who have an auto so maybe I'll try and take their Z for a test drive the next time we have a meet.

Most import sports cars make their power at the higher end of the RPM range vs the luxury models that have a flatter tq/hp curve.
