To ansewer your question you need to research what the ECU does. I wouldn't expect a nissan dealer to know...but you might ask some of the tuners on this board.

I don't know much about the the auto to tell you. Id expect the others to be correct in thier "understandings".....but if you want solid information then you need to do your own solid research...go find out exactly what the ECU tells the tranny to do...then you will be happy.

Sigh... for a bunch of enthusiasts this question seems to be too tough for you to answer directly and is why it isn't answered anywhere on this site, after digging through all the bashing and pissing contests that is. Part of doing "my own research" is asking on the forums. Good luck and have a nice day. (THE370Z.COM FTMFL!)

Also afaik there are no Nissan techs on this form so the best answer you are going to get is mostly hearsay. That's probably the best you are going to do on the subject unless you can find an article or official document somewhere.

also humidity and air temps, elevation will affect how your car performs... and tire pressure setting, and your weight, and if the window as open or not, etc.
just enjoy the car. dont be a magazine spec racer. |

And like I said before you come off as even more of an a**. That is the worst way to get help. You apparently don't like it here and I'm sure most would like it if you left anyway. Bye.

I have seen exactly 2 different magazine articles that have timed 370Z with the 7AT. All the other figures you vaguely quote as being "such large variations" are from the manual car as stated above. The 7AT has achieved the fastest 0-60 and 1/4 mile time I've seen (i'm interested because that is the only one my wife will want). Here is the article.
2009 Nissan 370Z Automatic - Short Take Road Test - Auto Reviews - Car and Driver The same magazine has tested several manuals as well so I assume they have a decent baseline and familiarity with the car. Also as stated above, using the manual shift mode shifts the car as fast as possible so the "adaptive" part is moot. Almost all automatic transmission equiped cars do adaptive learning anyway, so this isn't something the car review industry is unaware of. My 06 350Z certainly does it as well.

Isn't your initial argument based in large part on the magazines you now disparage? Let me quote you. You said "I am convinced that the reason for such large variations in 0-60 and 1/4 mile times for magazines, car shows, and racers/drivers is the adaptive shift control on the 370Z". Now unless you are actually sitting around at mythical 370Z races or watching 0-60 runs at car shows, I have to assume your info comes mainly from press releases/magazines. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
