I've done in a Porsche 911 several times on track from 3rd to 4th & hit 2nd instead wearing gloves. Kind of makes you feel like a fool. Most Zs I would think are built to occasionally go 2k over redline no problem. Rough on but not devistating to a high performance engine/trans. What is redline speed in 2nd?

No. 2k over redline runs the risk of engine parts in your legs.

Wow. Good thing I had an RX-7 when I pegged it regularly since reving was so quick. Buzzer went off all the time. I think Z can handle it too.

I wonder how they are going to make guys look tough driving when there are so few real manuals available. Hard to look tough flicking floppy paddle shifters. Cracks me up when commercials try to make a car look fast when the guys hand is on the shifter, but it's an automatic. I fear when I'm ready for a new car I won't be able to find a stick anymore. I think most of the new Porsche and Ferrari are only available with 2 pedals and floppy paddles. Faster, but takes some of the driving involvement away. I like using both feet. And not for left foot braking, which being an old coot, I can't get my head around.
