Does the Z have a DS mode like my G? It seems like it's only D or Manual mode.

Did you read my whole post? DS mode is in the car. DS is when you shift while in D. You won't see a little DS sign light up but its there.

That doesn't really sound like a "DS" mode then. The G has 3 Modes. Normal "D", "DS" which will more aggressively upshift and downshift when the gyro sensor is activated and a manual mode.

If you click the paddles in the Z while in normal drive, the D will turn to a number (at least thats what I remember from my test drive). However, that just seems like manual mode....I can't imagine the auto then up and downshifting with no other inputs...it should just revert to D.

The z doesn't have the mode your asking about.
