i don't know about skills, but you do need a level of competency to drive it quickly (esp. when turns are involved).

I learned on my cousins 240sx that was slammed... don't know what kind of power it had, but everything feels juiced when you first drive it.

seriously bro, if you feel like a manual will be a pain in the ***, you should just gotwith the AT, i hated my AT till i got stuck in traffic with my friends 6spd :/ now i love my AT haha, although i do wish i had manual every once in a while.

and manual really doesnt take much skill just a little bit of practice...

What are you end goals for the car? Are you wanting to mod? Twin Turbo?

I love it when people say people who got 5AT's are lazy. My daily driver is a 5spd, and my G is an auto... a supercharged 420HP built 5AT that chirps 3rd every time, never misses a shift, and will snap your neck if you aren't ready for the shift. Not lazy at all.. just like to run 12's without thinking about it while chatting on a cell phone and drinking a Coke (not really).

I meant in a sense that not everyone can drive stick. I still think you need some type of skill to be able to shift properly.

I tried to teach mine and all went well until she had to brake. Car stalled and eventually after a couple fails the car went into limp mode

Only time I can honestly say wish I had stick is when I need to make/answer a phone call or when I'm out for drinks but I know that no one with me can drive my car so I can really party

Haha man not another 6mt vs Auto thread. Someone lock this thread.

But I don't thnk the g35 is a luxury car. It's the base entry level car of infiniti. If you wanted luxury car get a highend Merc, Bmw, or Audi. But I will agree it is an amazing looking car. With that who cares if you drive auto or stick. It's just your preference.
