Rev Match daily driving

FWIW, the owner's manual has minimum operating speeds for each gear. You can stay in 6th gear down to 35 mph. The minimum speeds for each gear are around 1200-1500 RPMs for reference.

Real drivers only need two gears in the Z. 1st gear redlines at 35 mph. 6th gear for anything over 35 mph. Downshifting is

but you just get a new transmission under warranty every 5K miles or so

Since I bought my Z and after 25k miles I have yet to shut off the S mode feature, I use it to downshift instead of braking...
