Then just gently hit the brakes to stop at the white line. Pretty simple. I will note the SRM on this car suxs IMO. Dont like the down shift from it, the motor feels like it is bein held at the lower gear RPM for a split second before the SRM lets go and lets the tranny brake the motor, and dont like how it hangs the upshift. Just not my cup of tea.
You know, it's only until very recently that other cars have their own version of SRM. BMW M5-M6, Porsche 911, Cayman, and the new Corvette, all considerably more expensive than the 370Z
