Also getting a performance tune will lean your car toward the aggressive side all the time, so ASC is less intrusive with a custom tune.

Exactly. Not resetting every time is definitely better, and I'm sure you're right that the Z ASC is much more sophisticated than my previous experiences.

I got a performance tune on my 6MT and love it

I wonder if the new EcuTek software will be able to adjust the ASC on a 7AT.

That, I have no clue of where or how the ASC will play with the programs or not, but the more aggressive gear ratio changes will obviously put a damper on some of ASC's overall function..

Wish i got the Auto, guarantee I would love it and you woundnt see any complaints on sloppy shifter, crap clutch, coarse rough engine. Lack of torque on throttle response

No wonder they don't offer it for the lease deal it even gets better mpg..

Next time, don't buy something you're not satisfied with on test drive.

Secondly, if you do ever get another Z? Test drive more than one manual. Z's have always been known for hit or miss manuals. Research.

Most definitely more research next vehicle I get into, My automatic 4.0 vq frontier is the same feeling of torque response I would expect from the z but apparently only In the auto. Do you think Nissan vq is just more responsive in auto tranny? I've heard the same from g35/ fx35 guys.
