I don't know, dual clutch with flappy paddles would be nice.

(here I would normally use the driving emoticon. We need one with flappy paddles)

Sure, a proper DCT would be nice, but the current iteration of the auto in the Z is pathetic. My old '13 Z auto damn near blew itself at Homestead Miami. Pulled into the pits and a Nismo engineer told me they werent designed for hard use in the slightest, such a shame.

I usually drive mine pretty aggressive. Not redline every shift but she gets worked pretty well.

I don't drive it like I stole it as much now, but I will run it hard, other then the CSC and Master that have already been mentioned the rest is solid.

oh and i'm at 284,xxxkms. and just about to leave to put on another 2500kms, this week...

Laid back on the streets, with a very occasional moment where I'll push it. As an example... Got 33k miles out of my stock bridgestones. On the track... Different story

The stench could be picked up all the way here in Georgia

Sigh...800 more miles on break in...THEN I'll be driving a little more...spirited, if you will!

I never go over 17 mph. Most crashes occur at greater than 17 mph, so it's the safe thing to do.

I have my red tach light set at 4K, so that's where I stop. Being in this crowded *** place unless you go to track you can't get up any speed anywhere (without a heinous ticket) anyway. I'm out of warranty on drivetrain and bumper to bumper so I'm extra careful since I still owe on it.
