Yeah, but that wasn't the subject of this thread.

The subject of this thread is "tips for driving manual 370Z". The engagement point and clutch feedback opine is absolutely on topic for that subject matter. Try a little reading comprehension before you go all 'keyboard warrior' on relevant posts next time

Other than the crushing disappointment... Do I need to post the diagram again?
Well, here it is just for good measure.

Well before you go blasting me and being all rude and immature about it, let me apologize. When I answered on my lunch break, I didn't see post #10 when he asked about the clutch engagement and feedback. I simply overlooked it the first time around. So...

To each their own. I've never been a fan of auto anything. Driven Corvette's, Audi's, Porsche's, BMW's with paddle shifters pretty hard, and none of them were as fun as mashing gears in my Z, or any other manual car for that matter.

But yeah as someone said the automatic Z is faster than the manual in a drag race or any other race. The paddles on the Z are nothing special but they STILL shift faster than a human can. So with the paddles you can shift faster than the manual can AND you still have the benefit of selecting the correct gear in order to keep the RPMs in the powerband. Literally the only advantage to driving a manual is the way it makes you feel while driving it. That is it. And that’s enough for me and many others. The manual is dying though because people don’t buy them anymore. And I don’t blame them really, it’s a huge pain in the *** for normal street driving. And slower than modern DCts or automatics. |
