good feedback *^^* thanks for the estimated chart.....

thank God i did not down-shift to 2nd gear the other day when i was going 60+.......

i just passed 1200 miles, so i would like to see what the car is capable of........

with my s2k, going to 2nd gear was no problem....... but Z is a different beast.....

ya but doesn't the S2K have like a 9000 rpm redline? might have something to do with it.

you know, the video on youtube where they raced the 370z with the cayman, boxster, z4, and exige, the japanese race driver only used 3rd and 4th gears (the digital readout showed which gear he used)

he never used 1, 2, 5, and 6 for the entire race.

WTF is going on, who is buying these cars? These cars are great but there appears to me at least, to be some kind of retard buying these cars too that is sullying its reputation. Maybe Nissan needs to up the price and include a few extra items on the car, maybe that will keep the "undesirable" element away.

Is it ok to shift into 2nd when doing 60mp/h and above,......huh try it and see.
