If so, is there a flash that fixes it?

In a sense, this 370Z is supposed to be Nissan’s Mustang. That means the Nissan needs to be able to do a huge, smoky burnout. Just one problem – it can’t. We tried. The traction control was off, but apparently “off” is a relative term with the automatic transmission model. Even with the electronic nannies turned off, the computer controlling the motor will still cut the power off at the first hint of wheel spin. It’s a result that left a colleague and I sitting in an empty industrial park with a cabin filled of disbelief rather than smoke. In fact, in several conditions, we found the traction control overbearing, stepping in when we’d have rather it didn’t.

It'll roast them in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and I've busted it lose in 4th...with the 7AT.

^ What they said. I cleaned off my tires on the 7AT just fine at the drag strip, and that was on their super-sticky surface and bypassing the water box.
