Here's a short anectdote: I personally loved the SRM when I first got it. Coming from an old TR7 with bad synchros, I had by necessity learned how to heel-toe rev match and when I test drove the Z, I was blown away. I drove with it on for a long time since the system does it perfectly everytime, until I decided to use it to teach me how the engine and throttle react to my foot and learn what revs I needed at a given speed for a whatever gear I was downshifting to. It really helped me get the feel for the Z until I began driving with it off last summer. Nowadays, I only switch it on when I'm in traffic since the smoother shifts are easier on the clutch and presumably help extend its life.

Anyone who's driven a heavy truck for a living doesn't need SRM and probably will never use it. And like some others have said, after a while you probably will prefer matching engine speed/gear/road speed yourself.
I really didn't want to spend the extra dough on the sport package, but the car I wanted, Gun Metallic, had it, so I bought it. Having said that, I can still say I don't care about the differential or the spoilers, or even the wider tires, but the Rays are nice, and the brakes are indispensible. Could not possibly see myself having this car without those brakes now. |

When i found my used one this past fall, had no idea about the Sport package. Now that I've learned some things about the 370 series, I wouldn't buy one without it....The syncro matching transmission will make you giggle each time you use it...Why would you take off one of the prettiest rims made for something else? The Sport package makes the cars look much more refined without being a "kid" car...
