why do you say that? it being an automatic or regular manuel, doesnt have any effect as to power of the car, 332 hp, still the same. mine? (thus being the only one on the lot) its an automatic 7 speed, with Paddle or Slap shifters. which means say your going on the highway in auto... and you want to go manuel.... just flip the shift knob over and your now in manuel, and being in manuel mode, means this car can reach that 7th gear.. regular manuels only go 1 to 6 gear. Mine goes to 7th. and you can either up shift with the paddle shifters ORRR you can shift just like a regular manuel with the knob...just minus the clutch.also say your in 7th gear driving on the highway.... and all the sudden you need to stop but you dont have time to..... The car compensates for you not shifting and shifts to the lower gears for you. regular manuels will not. its a push start car also. you just have to have the key fob on you near the car and hold your foot on the brake and hit the start button at the same time for the engine to fire up (safety mechanicism for children) just in case a child hops in my car and sees the start engine button and presses it, all that would turn on would be the battery, not the engine. in order for you to turn the engine on, you have to hold in the brake and hit the start button. so overall...... from personal oppinion and what i just stated... the automatic Z is better than the manuel.
