Better With Synchro-Rev Off?

ImportConvert

I liked SRM on my test-drive. No problem at all, unless you count that I have a wierd quirk where I wiggle the shifter when coming to a stop to make sure it isn't in gear. This drives SRM crazy. I learned to drive stick on my cam/head/full bolt-on 5.0 with a TKo500/Hurst and 4.10s with a 3.27 first gear. If it was in gear when you came to a stop, it wouldn't really stall, even with the huge cam--at least not before it lurched 10-20 feet. Made me paranoid.

1-2 in the 'vert SUCKED, but 1-2 in the hard-top I drove was great. The seat in the 'vert wouldn't go back far enough to accomodate the clutch pedal/me. I'm only 5'10.5" I thought this was wierd...

Hehe, same here - the better half would notice I'd try to wiggle the gear selector in rental cars - and they were automatics. Habit, definitely.

I keep SRM on - I like it. It never misses a downshift.

As for the 1 to 2, yes: it's much harder to grab this smoothly in the Z than any other car I've driven (including a G35 6MT).

Yea that made big difference for me, i'm tall so if i dont push the seat back all the way i keep giving too much gas and shifting sucked, its hard to get smooth shifts on this car unless you're at 5k rpm, comming from muscle cars we're used to shifting at low rpms to save gas and with high tourqe
