good luck finding a company that rents any 370z lolll. i dont even think they rent out stick cars unless their exotics and those will cost you an arm and a leg just for one day.

If you havent noticed a delay, try this trick, while at idle, raise your foot off the floorboard and kick your throttle in real quick and watch how long it takes for the car to rev, there is definitely a noticeable lag compared to a cable driven throttle.

its not that noticeable if you dont pay attention to it but to me its kinda getting annoying. I want the engine to rev up as soon as i step on the gas because when your downshifting its annoying having to wait for the gas to kick in.

When downshifting with the SyncRev Sport Pkg the RPM's will hold momentarily on an up shift and rev match on a down shift allowing for a smooth transition . I have found the "slight" throttle response delay isn't as apparent as you cycle thru the gears. I haven't tried the Booster thing but might run by for the free demo they offer on their website. It is about an hour drive but...it would be a good excuse to make a little road trip. The more I drive my Z the less it bothers me but there is a short learning curve if it has been a few days since I've had it on the road and driven my work car (the Saturn).
