Yes. One of the best features! And one of the reasons i chose the z over a genesis and Is350 .




Also don't let off the gas when you up shift. We have a "no lift shift" :P haha

I mean if someone tunes their car, raises the rev limiter past the point of 8k rpm, and the oil pump gives, then the engine will go boom....so technically it's possible
Now Im going to pay attention on the way home, you have me second guessing. My Z was a 6 speed but I never really thought about "track" qualities for this car. Interesting. Thanks!!!

I have a tune that will only do 60mph and only 4000 rpm (my son took the car to prom) and even in auto mode it will bounce of the rev limiter hard if you floor it because the rpms are not high enough. In the first couple gears it almost violent when it hits it.

well the older (like last gen ones, 2012 etc) one did...not only that it wont shift when you click the paddles. say if i were 1-2k below redline and shifted to cruise the vehicle, it'd hold the gear thinking you wanted to redline it.

it was honestly useless.

not sure if the brand new ones are any different but i doubt it.

the genny can be. newer ones come with 348HP in the V6. little bit skinnier tire set-up but the power and RWD is there.

by friend has a 2009 3.8 track edition genny and wont race me lol he said it's because he knows the result is not in his favor

No, the pre '13 are crap. Z is still faster than the new ones like mine. I was willing to give up a few ticks for the tech and pseudo luxury for an amazing price as a DD in this brutal south Florida traffic.

Yea...the tires, they suck. If I had ANY grip off the line this would take, at least half a second off the 1/4 time, cant wait to throw these out soon.
