How do you drive your AT Z

Nismo89 · 04-27-2011, 06:44 PM

main reason for me buying my Z in AT was because the constant, stopping, starting, stopping, starting again... of traffic on the way home and stuff

i mean a Z is a Z, Automatic or Manuel... who cares lol i still have a ton of looks EVERYWHERE i go practically and admiration BIG time... and thats the biggest joy for me....

Me personally i havent used the shifters yet in mine, mostly because im so used to Automatic that i just put it in gear and go, without a moments thought..

Manuel or Automatic..... Doesnt matter, Admirers will flock and gawk from a distance for the simple fact thats its a Z! =)

for me i traded in an 05 350 MT in was fun for awhile but i grew tired of the shifting in traffic. plus the first time i saw the paddle shifters on the 370 i was sold..... the 7AT does not disappoint.... when i'm depressed i just put it in M
mode shift right before redline between each gear and i get a big grin on my face...............

I'm in the majority and drive in the auto for boring driving (city or expressway) and M for the fun twisty stuff. I've done the $2 paddle shifter mod and like the shorter throw. Ofcourse you are never going to get the MT people to admit that both are great trannys but they are. I never have to worry about burning up the clutch or missing a shift. Just hammer down and take off down the road, shift 6 times and your over the speed limit.

Tru that I can hit 65 in 3rd or 4th. I like hitting all the gears real fast. Does anybody have a top speed per gear chart?
