Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - shifting from 2nd in stand still

Hey guys, looking for some consensus here if it is really a bad idea to shift from 2nd gear while at a standstill (red light or stop sign or whatever).

I ask this as it makes it smoother for the passenger when they are in the car. I just didn't know if there would be any damage down the road if I did this every so often?

I know other cars usually bog down a bit if you try to roll off in seond gear but the Z seems to be fine.

Thanks in advanced!

p.s. May the 4th be with you! (Star wars reference)
