LOL.....:bowrofl:. Yeah, so can I, but after 45 years of Rev matching downshifts, I find the SRM awesome.....YOU can ignore the technology here, whine about the electronic nannies, Yada yada, but in the end it is an excellent system that can make you a better driver..(but that's really up to you, isn't it??)......

A friend of mine who drives/tracks a GT40, CR6 track modified Vette and a fully modified/built 911 drove my 370Z on the track (me in the passenger seat) and he tells me the SRM is the best invention since the wheel.

I never turn it off because it is so much fun to drive.

I considered getting a base model and doing everything myself too - with the Sports Package you get the following:

Nissan Sports Brakes
SynchroRev Match
Viscous limited-slip rear differential
19" Rays
Bridgestone Potenza tires
Front chin aero deflector (I can't even see this thing in pictures)
Body-color rear spoiler

Just comes down to how much do you really want to deal with adding/updating each of those versus just paying the $3k. Looking at that list, the only thing I might never replace would be the LSD and of course the SRM. Good luck with your decision.

I will go try it out see how it is with and without. The 3k is well worth it hands down. I got my 350 for 27 otd. an 08 in sept of 08. I don't think it will be the same with the 370 + sport pack lol. Maybe for a base.. thanx every1 for ur input. I'm leaning more on the sport than before

if you're getting the Z , the sport is the best value for a package, 3k for Rims, big brakes...enough said. I rarely take off the SRM unless i'm showing someone what it does or feel like making sure I can still drive without it .

I used to have it off all the time when i first got the car. But once I tried it out, it is both addictive and fun to use. Now I can't imagine having a car without it. You won't regret it.

I think it's one of the most special feature of the 370Z. I showed it to my S2000 friends and they were like :eek:

I think I've only turned it off once or twice just to see the difference, I love slowing down to a traffic light and downshifting, perfect rev match and no drivetrain buckle. It's amazing.

this car will be forever remembered as the first car w/ "that awesome rev matching feature"... do you want to be one of the bozos who opted out of that? seriously - just drive w/ it on... and convince yourself already....

Is it just me, or is the SRM not perfect? It seems that whenever I use it it's not very smooth, especially when downshifting while braking. I found that I have to let the clutch out very fast to make it as smooth as possible. Most of the time I am smoother doing heal toe myself. With that being said, I still use it most of the time. Sometimes I turn it off just to do something different I guess.

It's a great feature, no doubt. That said, I will probably avoid using it for the sole reason of keeping my driving skills in line.

I am sure if I rely on this all the time, I will start to completely suck at driving other manual cars. Can you imagine accidently relasing the clutch like that in a car without SRM during spirited driving? I assure you it will be a VERY embarassing (and potentially dangerous) experience.

:icon18::iagree::bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

It has been on since day one, once you get used to it you don't even notice it.

Agree 100%. This is why I don't use it. It seems to engage a little higher then perfect, giving a little jerk. I blip the throttle myself on daily driving.

Never have issues with it over doing its rev matching, are you making sure you are not trying to "help" it because I did that at first and it screws up the whole SRM system.
It takes a bit of getting use to, but if you let SRM have its bit of control it makes a world of difference.

No 'help' here, I've been driving the car for 15 months. It appears to be a few 100's higher, and I notice it most during braking situations.
