While the automatic Z may have an edge, though, that’s not to say it’s necessarily more fun. On the Z Performance trim, for instance, the stick shift comes with SyncroRev Match (SRM). Rather than demanding the driver do some heel-and-toe throttle blipping during downshifting — to match the speed of the engine with that of the driveshaft in the lower gear — SRM can do that for you. The result is the tactility of a manual, but without necessarily losing the urgency.
Then there’s no-lift shift, which is enabled in the Z’s Launch Mode. As the name suggests, it allows you to keep your foot planted on the gas pedal even as you hit the clutch to upshift.
Chris Davies/SlashGearThe reality is, there’s more to driving enjoyment than just straight line speed. Though the Nissan Z automatic is undoubtedly faster than its Z manual sibling, there’s an undeniable sense of engagement in changing gears yourself. For some enthusiasts, that’s reason enough to take the 0.2 second hit on acceleration so they can feel the greater involvement in their sports coupe the rest of the time.
