You do not understand what I am saying... I am saying... If we want to EXPERIMENTALLY determine which one shifts faster all we have to do is the following:

Same Dyno same day...

1. Graph a MT 370z shifting from 1->2 etc etc... 4->5 when looking at the power / tq graphs - we can see a power over time plot which will show us how long the power drops for between shifts... this tells us how fast our "competent" MT driver shifts

2. Do the same w/ an Auto Z and compare the times taken

3. Profit?

EDIT: this is to see who can upshift quicker - I dont want to get started on the downshifting as obviously the 6mt has an advantage anytime you want to skip a gear
