sbkim: To answer your question, i doubt the Z starts off from 2nd gear because nissan has never done that. As far as i know BMW is the only car that mode in their auto tranny for some odd and stupid reason.
thanks klubbheads! Good to see another 335 owner here. Have you driven the Z? Love to hear your thoughts between the 2 cars.

I test drove another auto. This time I kept the car in mostly sport/manual mode. The car def felt more responsive keeping the RPM hight. Gear changes were pretty quick but not discernibly faster than newer autos (again, comparing to auto in my 335 coupe).
