Question for you three pedal guys...

Back when I was still rowing through the gears on a daily basis (over a decade ago now... dang!), I frequently skipped from 4th to 6th when merging on to a freeway and getting up to the speed of traffic. This was in a unmodified NB Miata that had a lot less torque and horsepower to get me going. If my Z was a manual, the 3rd to 5th and 4th to 6th sequence would be how I would shift in the same situation. Technically, you can do it with the Z34/Jatco AT in Sport mode (which I use most of the time on surface streets and canyon carving), but I find myself not so much skipping gears, but instead just staying out of the top two gears unless I'm cruising over 55-60 mph.

How about floating through the gears in a synchronized manual transmission?
