You know, I felt the same way when I bought the car. In fact, I kept the Synchro-Match turned off for the first month. Of the 25 cars I've owned, only one was a slush-box. I get in about 10-12 track days a year, (mix of autocross and driver education days). Lots of practice trail-braking and balancing the car on the power out of turns.

Now I'm beginning to change my thinking. Two weeks ago I tracked my Z for the first time. I started off as usual, but after a number of laps, I turned on the SM to play with it. To my surprise, I found that the reliable 100% match on downshifts means I'm getting slightly better lap times.

It probably won't change how I drive day-to-day. I hate how the SM blips the throttle when I'm just slowing to a stop and take the car out of gear. But the reliability of the automated matching does seem to matter on a track.

Just another data point for your consideration.

All you guys with them new fangled things like SRM, LSD, leave us ol schoolers alone. By the way how do ya'll like that fancy fuel injection, and electronic ignition on them there horseless carriages. Fad or do you think they will catch on?

Slaging people instead is a better way to enlighten society.....

I guess of course the same thing could be said about computers dumbing down people's ability to use punctuation, etc...

One instinct you don't have is proper spelling and grammar.
