i usually only downshift to 3rd gear in the Z (down to about 1.5K rpm) to a stop because there's more torque from engine braking in 2nd and sometimes requires more braking to stop the car. if it's a a downhill i will use 2nd. bascially i like my car in gear at all times while moving so that i have constant control of the car. if im in neutral it will take me a split second before i can get the car moving again. that i dont like. as a side effect which i dont really care for, you will waste more fuel in neutral to idle the engine than fuel-cut while the engine is spinnin in gear. |
