For the first month and a half I would have SRM on almost all the time. So then one day while turning on an on-ramp I downshifted and thought it was SRM was on when it was actually off and the car got a little loose on me. I was proficient at heel and toe before the Z. With the Z and SRM off, it's not easy to downshift manually as other cars. I tended to over shoot the RPMs when I started with SRM off.

My point is that I don't want to lose the ability or the sharpness of my downshifting by using SRM all of the time and if I drive another car. I don't want to get used to having SRM and not being able to downshift correctly. I love SRM though especially when I'm going through mountain passes just for that extra security.
