In fact, I think this confirmed diagnosis is quite significant in that it's the first confirmed incident of SRM malfunctioning (isn't it?). To be honest, I'm quite surprised that we haven't seen more cases of SRM malfunctioning sooner. It's new technology, after all, and the 09 370Z is the first implementation of this new tech. When I got my Z with the sport pkg., part of me felt that I was taking a big gamble getting a car with a brand new feature that isn't on any other cars yet. I have to say that overall I'm very pleased with how well SRM has held up after owning my Z for over a year. But now that we have our first confirmed case of SRM going bad, we'll need to keep a more watchful eye on this, I think.

For some reason, I never even thought of turning off the SRM. I just wanted to quickly see if I could at least stop it, and get a good video for all of us to see. It was a really fun topic of discussion though! The age of cell phone video has worked in a very constructive way! Boy does my Z look great freshly waxed! Stupid Winter. Go away already! Thanks for your kind comments on the Z being all fixed. Should something happen on this subject again, I'd be the first to let you all know... Hopefully with a good video as well.
