Actually it does help on up shifts as well. I read that on one of the official Nissan documents.

And the man said "one" of the best manual transmissions on the market.

This car is going to be a thrill !!!!

This is what I thought that I read as well, thanks for the info.

Awesome find AK...

One thing I'm not quite sure if I can agree on... He said "This is the best manual transmission on the market." I'm pretty sure the TR6060 has that title. But we'll have to wait and see what happens. No doubt that the tranny in the Z is super awesome. But it's really hard to imagine that it's better than a race-spec transmission used in the ZR1, Z06, 08 Viper and a few other race-spec cars.

Man, I can't wait to get my Z... It's good to hear that even the race drivers are liking the rev-matching system.

18rgcelica73 · 12-31-2008, 12:15 AM

Yeah the TR6060 is a vastly superior transmission to all the competition so far let's see what this one can really do.

Mr. BigHam · 12-31-2008, 12:19 AM

The bigest concern I have about the rev-match tranny is if it will match the revs quick enough, or will you have to shift like a granny for it to work correctly.

Crash · 12-31-2008, 02:44 AM

That's a good question, but I rarely have to shift down fast, normally just up. When I'm down-shifting, my foot is usually on the brake anyway. Although, there are times that I down shift with haste if I need to start going QUICK. (Like when a cobra on the side of me just downshifted and now I know I'm about to race.... again.... and beat him... again...)

Hell yeah it is. I'm so stoked that I had a weird dream last night about me driving my old Firebird and I was really unhappy because I wasn't driving the 370z.

bossman · 12-31-2008, 05:42 PM

we need some more comparison vids.. all we got is the z vs. 135i

SHIFT_Z · 01-01-2009, 11:26 PM

^^^ wow. its not even a WANT anymore. I NEED a 370z.

Crash · 01-01-2009, 11:31 PM

LOL! I love how they're comparing it to a Pontiac G8! "This thing will blow the hell out of the G8."

I don't know if they realize that the G8 is going to be SERIOUS competition for the 370z. The G8 is putting a LOT of power down and LSx motors are REALLY easy and cheap to mod. The G8 just has a bit more weight, but it makes up for that in torque.

However, I wouldn't take a G8 even if it had 500HP. It's ugly, especially next to the Z.

18rgcelica73 · 01-02-2009, 10:21 AM

Very ugly but very fast. I have seen them running now in the low 13 second range.
