Hi all,
I lease an 09 g37x sedan At and i like it for the comfort and acceleration
I recently tired 370Z auto and although both cars have the same motor, the Z sits much lower and feels much much sportier and corners flat

I thought the upshifts in Z especially from 3 to 4 took about 1.5 to 2 seconds ie for the tach needle to drop the revs completely when upshifting after the guage shows the higher gear

I timed my g37 auto in manual and i can say "1001 1002" by the time I see the needle dropping completly to the new higher gear eg: 3 to 4 or even 2 to 3 ,But on this you tube video of 370 z auto
YouTube - 370Z with automatic transmission Rev match explained

At 2:24 and 2:50 you can see upshifts from 2 to3 and 3 to 4.
The 2 to 3 upshift at 2:24 is within a second and the 3 to 4 upshift at 2:50seems to take about 2 seconds

AT owners what do you feel about the upshift speeds from 3 to 4 and 4 to 5 compared to 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. From the video looks like the upshifts upto 3rd gear seems faster to complete than from say 3 to4 or 4 to 5

Any feedback will be appreciated
