What new features would you like to see on the 370Z?

I saw this clip on top gear, in which they recorded how long it took a super car to reach 100 mph in say, 4th gear. I wanted to try something similar to this, but it wont let me shift up that high.

Well, no matter the car, you can't start off at a dead stop in 4th. On a manual, I guess you could if you slipped the clutch a ton until the speed caught up. I can't be bothered to do the math, but I'm sure if you did you'd find something like 5mph in 4th ends up at like 150rpm, which is too slow for the engine to not die.

the real problem is people dont use turn signals at all or they use it to indicate that they are currently switching lanes or turning. Not exactly useful. You're supposed to use the turn signal to give a warning that you have the intention of turning or changing lanes. Which is more than 3 blinks.

Oh I have that on my S60. I like it, I also drive far less aggressive than compared to the Z.

so one can be an arase and flick on the turn signal left and right and right and left and keep going straight.

i had the intention, but decided not to.

Okay, I updated my statement, is that better? Or are we going to have a debate on the word soon?
