sorry, but it is very Important
 
Awesome! I think you should do an entirlly custom base, though. Like mine.(I havent acquaint it yet.) Not to be rude but I would like it absolutely custom. still great, aiir-conditiopned, good and, a lot of importantly, ALARMING!

Was the RPM limited due to the speed electronic limiter?

The ratios for the 7AT and the 6MT are a bit different enough where that could have happened.

Hell with track times...line up a MT and AT and have at it. Be safe though. 8-)

At the 1/4 mile drag the 7 AT will be faster, at least with my car.

I agree. I have an MT. My gym partner has the 7AT. I have driven both... and I feel like the 7AT is faster in a straight line easily.

Hopefully some time soon they will do a chip for the trans too and make the shifts faster and allow it to redline. On my other 6AT DSG car they came out with a chip that allowed M mode to stay the same but we also had a S mode and they made that faster and into redline. We also had the paddle shifting which was made faster too. Now we dont have the S mode but they can make the shifts faster and allow it to go into redline and we should see max HP and TQ then.

I am waiting for my roadster with 7 AT ;)

Is the ECU modified in this video ??

I am not clear about when the car is not going all the way to redline. My 7AT redlines in any gear and is so much faster than my 2004 Base model 6MT 350Z ever was! Is it just on the dyno? Maybe a traction control issue?

Which vw did you have? I traded in my gli for the z.

I had the Audi 2.0T TT, very nice car but just not fast enough and I didnt have the $$$$ for the TTS so I got the Z which Ive always wanted and its a good bit faster even with the $3k in performance parts I had on the TT.

You fool! You should have gotten the 2004.5 model!

I could have sworn that I saw a video either on streetfire or youtube that showed a 7AT getting 3 or 4 car lengths on a 6MT from a rolling start. Can't find the link now though :mad:
Rolling start "speed comparisons" are usually determined by peak horsepower.

I think that dyno was in the wrong gear. Dyno in 4th and the car can rev to fuel cut. Also, my 7AT stock made the same (or more!) power on dyno as any of the 6MT's on the same dyno at the shop I use, so I'd say drivetrain losses are approximately equal between the two.

As far as speed on the road goes, the 7AT has been generally found as fast -- or even slightly faster -- as the 6MT.

I hate to use Shumby as an example but when compared to the 7AT the 6MT hold up to the torque increases associated with F.I. the 7AT's don't

I owned the 2004.5 model of the 350Z and traded it in for a 2009 370Z. Who you calling fool, chump? :icon23:
