Ouch, my condolences to you and or significant other.... and note, no threats of anything. It is called mutual respect and love BUT I will save that for another website. Back on track:

Someone stated better shifts at 5K and above. Just got it out on the 5 in CA and shifts are MUCH smoother. I was having challenges from 1-2 but no longer; I was shifting too soon........ Going to turn off VDC today and see if I can break it loose and have fun. Have had the car 3 months now and its time.

OK, drove over the weekend and found a lot of areas I could test the shifting at without interference. Gears 1-2 seem to like 4K, 2-3 and on do well with around 3K unless you really want to move quickly in which case, 7K does VERY well.... Posting in case anyone cares... :tiphat:

Anyone else have any thoughts regarding shift RPMs?

I have really started to enjoy my car more again.
Switched a few things out and the car has a much better sound, performance is fantastic and daily driving is wonderful.

Like cames4, I've had the Z for just over 3 months now, and am starting to push it handling-wise. I've been hesitant to take the VDC off especially with the colder temps we've been experiencing and summer tires. I will at some point under the right conditions, as I do find it to be moderately intrusive. Still, I am gaining more of an appreciation of what this car can do. I have mentioned before that I am not used to the combination of power and handling, and am back in a RWD car after a 5 year hiatus since the RX-8 was traded in.


Oh, and Mustang Steve, that exhaust sounds awesome on your GT!
