You must have been granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake!

You know the best part is...
When you hear a 370z mess up shifting and find out its actually an 7AT and the guy still messes up with a semi-auto transmission

It's actually easier to do than you think. I loved to downshift that bitch but I ALWAYS forgot that when you brake hard and come down in speed quickly it will always beat you to the punch. Meaning that when I think I'm downshifting to third it'll have just done that so I wind up in second and far too high in the power band for what I'm trying to do. It always becomes and "ah ****" moment. Managed to do that a few times a months for the two years I had it. Some people never learn. lol.

Sounds lame. That is why I bought a manual sports car.

It was. Not hatin on it though. It was quick and did well for what it was. Back in a manual now for the first time since 2002. Last one was a '91 Stealth RT TT AWD. Now that was a fun ******* car that hauled ***.
