I don't care how fast either one of these cars are, the race looks so damn boring with an auto.
The 10 speed auto in the Stang might be great for drag racing, but that tranny a disaster during normal driving. Same goes for the 9 speed in the Z. Terrible.

Isn't the Mustang 10-speed automatic the same used with Camaro and other GM cars. I have heard nothing but good about it from Camaro owners.

The shifts are very slow. I also have NFI why it needs 10 gears, 6 is plenty with 6 an overdrive, it's 5 litre V8 ffs. I have a 997 PDK and once warm (it's clunky when cold) the downshifts in particular are faster than the 10 speed in the stang.

Just because it has the "same" transmission doesn't mean it works the same. I've had 8spd ZFs in Chryslers that were absolutely horrible...nothing like BMW. Comes down to the specific tuning.

I like how the Nismo test mule is all camo'd - but from what is visible, it looks just like the base car, so I don't know how much they're actually hiding under there. And yeah, where are the current ones? I've yet to see a single one on the road.

The 2nd gear grind is a design feature of the 6-speed manual transmission that dates back to the 370Z. The Throttle House guys started 1-3 shifting on their test car to avoid grinding. Given the tepid reviews, Nissan is probably doing the right thing here as I don't think this car can handle more bad press.

We have a brand new Pathfinder with the new 9 speed transmission and it is adequate for that. I know it will be retuned for the Z and no I haven’t driven one, but I’m guessing it won’t be a ton different and would get the manual for that car. Then a bunch of suspension upgrades to tighten that thing up. |

Yes and no, we had a 3rd gen Cayenne S with the ZF box, it was a technically amazing transmission and extremely smooth. They just don’t have that fun/wow factor that DCT/PDKs bring IMO. This is a common complaint about the G80/82s. Great transmission, just a bit blah though comparatively speaking.
