I have the time that i actually shifted at and when it engaged the gear
Launched at 2500 rpm.
1st to 2nd 6400, 1.13 sec
2nd engaged at 5237, shift time 0.3 seconds
2nd to 3rd @ 7475 , 1.5 sec.
3rd engaged at 5237 , shift time 0.31 seconds
3rd to 4th @ 7712 , 2.9 sec.
4th engaged at 5525, shift time 0.39 seconds
4th to 5th @ 7700, 5.15 seconds
5th engaged at 5587, shift time 0.68 seconds
5th to 1320 ft. @ 5812, 1.74 second.

This is with the stock preasure settting on the 7 AT with 4.08 gears.
the only bad lag is 4th to 5th. " so you still think that you can out shift me with a 6 MT "
All reading taken with the cobb. ( elasped time vs rpm )

So, MT's can shift faster than an average of .35 seconds......really???REALLY????

I'm confused on why this person was hitting 5th gear in the 1/4 mile, I barely got into 4th before the 1/4mile was over...

That is a lot of time, now you want to tell me the Z auto can shift at under 0.1 then yes you can beat a manual.

How much time does it take you or any good manual driver to shift?

Well clearly it takes probably TWO seconds for a manual driver to shift because there is no way it could compare to a 370z 7AT. :rolleyes:
I am probably around .3 as I am fairly quick but not the best, a solid driver who knows what he is doing and has more practice can be in the .2 range. Beyond that you are starting to get out of the limits of a manual transmission which is when supercars and now your 70k+ cars have moved onto.

Cool. Is that with powershifting (I think that's what it's called)?
