I've never had it on yet except when I drove the Z off the dealer. I just can't bring myself to it, besides the more you drive a manual the smoother you get at heel and toe and rev matching. Maybe on a track day I might turn it on.

As long as we all remember, regarding turns; Clutch out when wheels are pointed straight.

I don't have Sports Package, so I don't have SRM on my Z.

So I can't vote on this one but I think it doesn't matter if I chip in.

The technology behind the SRM is amazing, however, the more you use the SRM, the more you will depends on it, at least that's what I feel after reading the 4 pages of this thread.

And, the more you depends on it, the more rusty on your heel-toe.

But hey, aren't heel-toe the best part of driving a stick-shift??

Doesn't trying to do heel-toe at your best give you the most pride??

Doesn't it make you feel better if you tell yourself "Man, I can heel-toe like a pro... yea." ???

Maybe I am a bit old-school thinking or stubborn

But how can I let the electronic 'kill' the 'art' of driving a stick-shift.

That's why I didn't even bother to think about the sports-package when I order the Z: I will choose a set of 19 with the style I like, I won't track the Z so the sports-brake is not within my concern, and the SRM... you heard what I said. LOL

Just my $0.02, of course, you like it, use it!! But let your heel do some exercise sometimes. LOL

Very good point, obviously some people take pride in driving, but some take it to the extreme. I just find it a little ridiculous when some who do have it say "I have SRM but have not and will not ever use it." It's not like you lose man points for using it. Anyway, if you've never used it, I would encourage you to at least try it. Its pretty amazing how bang on perfect it is every time.
