I like No wing rear better.
 
Is there a way to get the sport pkg with the non sport rear end?

NO. You just have to find a base owner who wants to swap for a sports wing hatch.

yeah!

Insanity. :gtfo2:

that's one of the main reasons I bought the base model, that and I did not want the revmatch (gimick that will have problems IMO), and am planning to change out the wheels.

Only thing I did want were the sports brakes, which I put on a week after I bought the car.

i agree, im not really feelin the stock wing...

MeetJoeAsian 08-20-2009 10:14 AM

to each his own...I personally think that the wing should have been made a part of the rear hatch and not an optional spoiler...

I totally agree with u. It should be integrated.

I'm sure if u order the car from a reputable dealer.
They can do a wing delete to your package.
I'm just not sure you will get the price discount.
You will probably get your wing in its package.

Gimmick? you are on crack - its like saying paddle shift dual clutches are gimmicks... to each their own... but with equal drivers one w/ SRM and one w/out - the one who uses it will be noticeably faster around the same track...

I can heel-toe just fine. It is sad you have to rely on that.

Can you limited slip your differential?


:D

:icon18: HAHAHA plus can you perform a perfect heel toe every time you downshift? :driving:

billydsz 08-20-2009 12:15 PM

I don't even know what a heel toe is. Perhaps it's best if I "heel toe" my way out of this thread lol:o

You know, I felt the same way when I bought the car. In fact, I kept the Synchro-Match turned off for the first month. Of the 25 cars I've owned, only one was a slush-box. I get in about 10-12 track days a year, (mix of autocross and driver education days). Lots of practice trail-braking and balancing the car on the power out of turns.

Now I'm beginning to change my thinking. Two weeks ago I tracked my Z for the first time. I started off as usual, but after a number of laps, I turned on the SM to play with it. To my surprise, I found that the reliable 100% match on downshifts means I'm getting slightly better lap times.

It probably won't change how I drive day-to-day. I hate how the SM blips the throttle when I'm just slowing to a stop and take the car out of gear. But the reliability of the automated matching does seem to matter on a track.

Just another data point for your consideration.

thank you. just another thing to dumb down society. to my it is instinctual. you people aren't going to drive a 370z for the rest of your life, learn how to drive properly like a good driver should.

bucketman 08-20-2009 12:55 PM

All you guys with them new fangled things like SRM, LSD, leave us ol schoolers alone. By the way how do ya'll like that fancy fuel injection, and electronic ignition on them there horseless carriages. Fad or do you think they will catch on?

Slaging people instead is a better way to enlighten society.....

I guess of course the same thing could be said about computers dumbing down people's ability to use punctuation, etc...

One instinct you don't have is proper spelling and grammar.
