It always downshifts to 5th when you switch it over. But the car will engage 7th at 42-43 if you're on a flat piece of land or just not stressing the car

Ohhhhhhhhhh, one was when my car popped when I was doing 85MPH, and it slowed to 60, and I THINK what you/he means is when I was going home doing like 90 and this cop guns it, I slow down, then he rides my àss, and randomly exits, lol

No Lexus involved though, unless it's another incident

Yessir! That sounds more right now, the Lexus was going faster, but I remember the cop being on my àss then left, probably for that guy, lol

Back on topic! OP, factor downshifting or flooring it into cutting someone off, lol

Damn cops...... Dont they have anything better to do? Lmfao.....:bowrofl:

You know I noticed something women Z drivers who usually have the 7AT are 10X smarter as drivers then male Z drivers. Sad but true! They are more driver orientated then men are. Just my observation though, carry on with thread. :icon17:

i kinda wish i test drove the 6MT along side my AT. anyone that drives an auto like me most likely can relate. the throttle lag when you mash the peddle is pretty bad in my opinion like a turbo is winding up. one of the reasons i bought the AT was because of reports that it is faster due to computer. so is the 6MT really responsive compared to the 7At for those who have driven both? i am now using trip more then ever even more so then the paddles. i thought the vvel was supposed to be super quick and responsive with valve lift at higher rpms. im no mechanic, but it seems you either have to mash it and get a delay but decent blast off lol. or use triptronic to get a more sporty feel but lack that MT control you need to throw the gears down.

Look into getting a Sprint Booster. I have the 7AT as well. This little add on has all but eliminated any throttle lag. Check out the link below.

Home of Sprint Booster

IMO, it is the best mod bang-for-the-buck you can do for your Z. It eliminates the throttle lag.:twocents:

I disagree. A bunch of the women drivers where I'm at all suck at driving(doesn't matter what they drive). Don't know how to turn, can't park straight, don't check blind spots, text and drive, ect. And to add to all that, they think their car is the hottest pos since Laura Croft's Tomb Raider. Not to mention that they are SLOW when canyon carving, not taking proper lines, and over all, just being annoying in general(like speeding up when you try to over take them in passing lanes)
