Never understood how that works. I mean, wouldn't you want to use your power hand for better grip and handling? Why would you use your non-dominant hand? Unless you're ambidextrous..


I mean...

I'm talking about holding the steering wheel!!

wow!!!! just got home from work cant believe all the great input... i did not sleep all night...at 2:30 am i decided i am not going to get
the Z because its like a coffin and you cant see properly out of it where the miata is open,spacious and even has a Trunk. but now i am thinking i can learn everything a miata can be in 30 days...where a Z i will probably still be learning up to the end of the lease. why get auto if it has sync downshifts with the sports package

Yea 1st gear is tough, takes lots of practice, and if you're shifing on low rpms' you need to let rpms go down before you shift, so you depress the clutch and wait a second then shift, on high rpms it doesn't matter.

The auto shifts MUCH faster and you still have the control like a manual to downshift and upshift when you want.

And if you're NOT going forced induction, IMO, it's THE transmission to get

That's true. When I'm tired, it shows...

Bottom line on the clutch: Any clutch that holds power is gonna be rough. Try a 2 stage. I drove my buddies drag stang the other day and THAT bitch was clunky. However, I have never peeled out in all 5 gears before, so its a trade off. But sounds like you have made up your mind anyways sooooo...
Btw how did this thread get so off track haha?
