Yea serious - nissan really needs to adopt the euro model here... so much more intuitive for the car to upshift when stick is pulled back and vice versa...

Maybe not with your Z. :rolleyes:

That was a joke but I have to address your other comments because it was spoken like someone that has never been to a track and hasn't felt the subtleties of steering feedback while cornering.

First of all, I'm not saying that I'm a "racing driver" but I do have quite a bit of track time under my belt and I consider myself a pretty good driver who knows a thing or two about feedback from the car and how to register it while behind the wheel. So bashing? No. Pracitcality? Yes.

As for "shaking the steering wheel around", small, very fast adjustments are usually (or should be) taking place while one is cornering as they are feeling where grip is beggining to become an issue while on track when you are pushing your car to it's grip limits. It was said that Colin Mcrae moved his hands to make just such adjustments so fast you could hardly see his hands move. And I'm not talking about in the dirt either.

Anyway to make a long story short, I wasn't bashing. But I don't expect you to know the difference anyhow. :icon14:

I'm just slow i guess. This is my first AT with paddle's which i really like but
i find it easier to use the stick back to down shift forward to up shift.
keeps me focused on the road. but do find myself using the paddles more and more.
