ah k. just alittle diff to me. in my 2001 ta i could b in 3rd gear and when i went wot it was very quick to downshift into 1st.

so are you saying if im already in manual mode and im around around 40 mph and go wot its going to downshift automatically still? or you saying to drop the gears down manually first and holding the speed at say 40 and then punching it like in a normal manual?

other than the fun factor there is no performance gain in the manual mode is there?

i know in my 2005 GXP grand prix. it actually increased the pressure for quicker gear changes in its tapshift mode. but didnt think that was the case in the Z?

only asking because ive seen a few posts of people saying theyw as using there tapshift in the 1/4 and it kinda seemed strange to do that since it would be better to just let the car handle the shifting in straightline runs
