I don't usually powershift either (jnaut gives me sh*t about that all the time). But once in a while when I feel like I've cut an extremely good launch and shifted 2nd and 3rd gear well, I'll powershift 4th in hopes of making the run that much better.

I think you mean come up to see you (broward county).

I just never understood why all these tuners out there never ventured to understand what the ECU is doing and why sometimes it feels like the car is in all out rape mode, and sometimes it is total weaksauce..all in the same day. I'm not a slow shifter and am not scared to bang gears (although in my WRX I was completely terrified and still was able to get 12.7@106mph shifting that car like a grandma. That said, this car has much more than the wrx, I just can't push it out.lol)

I've done back to back pulls and have felt like I was driving a different car sometimes. I don't get it, but the night when i went 107mph the car just felt slow as hell.

This car confuses me and no one seems to want to figure out why

^^ My car does the same thing. I've fluctuated as much as 3mph at the track with very similar DA conditions. A 3mph difference in the same car is EASILY felt. And I'm not a slow shifter at all. Although I don't own a Z, we share in the same frustration.
