wow....i know how to drive. i mentioned stepping on the gas at 10-15mph in 2nd gear to show that if you are NOT in the very small powerband of the 370z the car feels dead. and speaking of actually driving... lets say you are in traffic just cruising along with the stop and go and there's an opening and you want to floor it... guess what gear you're going to be in if you were just chugging along real slow.. yes thats right 2nd gear. so you mash the gas and then wait and wait and wait and then it finally kicks after like 5 seconds. or does a professional like yourself downshift into first to get that extra kick?

I might change my opinion after I buy one, but it felt fine on my test drives and riding in one.

driver error? first of all its called experimenting with your car and seeing how the power feels in different gears. 2nd of all, if you are driving 15 miles an hour in 2nd gear and you want to gun it you aren't going to downshift into first. well maybe you do that, but that's driver error.
