Re: Brag: G37
very nice Nat
and as for automatic vs manual, both of my parents drove automatic so I don't know how to drive manual so I bought an automatic and I think it's plenty of fun to drive, but I don't really know anything about manual besides that I tried to learn in 15 minutes when I was looking at cars and it was hard.

Re: Brag: G37
it's pretty easy, i've taught 20+ people to drive manual and most of them get it w/in 20 min or so. the only tricky thing is starting on an uphill (since you live in ithaca that could get dicey).

I think most people would say it is blue when they see it in person. But it's both blue and gray, depending on the light. Beat: a female friend of mine thought it was purple. Ego went poof.

people 2 doors might look slightly better, but the PITA when you have more than 1 passenger is not worth it IMO EDIT: btw very very nice car OP [/ QUOTE ] I don't drive more than one other person too often and when I do, it's their problem. Not to be an ass, but I don't buy a 40-something thousand dollar car to make it nice and enjoyable for other people.

[/ QUOTE ] even on sports cars is 8 speed gearboxes and 10k redlines? i swear to god some people just swear by manuals because they don't know wtf they are talking about (not all people, because they have their place in some cars) edit: still a sick car [/ QUOTE ] There are no sports cars in existance with 8 speed gearboxes and 10k redlines. There are no race cars in existance with 8 speed auto gearboxes and 10k redlines. There are no race cars in existance with auto gearboxes unless there is a specific racing class specifically for auto boxes. [/ QUOTE ] Quite a few drag cars use autos, the 911 turbo is actually faster to 60 with a tiptronic That said, I'm a manual trans fan myself. Its more a question of feel and fun, you're more connected to the car when you row your own gears.

Re: Brag: G37
I might be able to get off the line faster with the paddle shifters on the G37 automatic. At least until I really get to know the clutch well. But like you said, that probably isn't the most important thing, it's more about having fun driving.
It's the same reason why I wouldn't get an SMG M3 if I could get a manual. Sure the SMG is faster, but it's less fun AFAIK (tried it once).
