One thing I dont hear much about the 335 is the engine/auto-transmission relationship and how it is very different in that car than in most. The tranny short shifts and gets confused a lot. The high torque is difficult for the auto transmission to smoothly transfer to the wheels. Often with less than half throttle I look like a novice driver with a surge and a lull. I guess I am more in love with high hp high revving engines. I have not drivven the new z yet. I will give my comparo when I do....
