I just saw a video showing it automatically rev matching while downshifting.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBc1yDyy_8E&NR=1 (FFWD to 4:20)

I love my s2000 and don't have any complaints about the car itself because I don't use it as a daily driver, but there are times when I want to relax while cruising and that rev match feature would be real nice in those instances.

How do you guys like it?

Next question: What kind of gasmilage are you getting? (not that it really matters)

I'm religiously getting 24mpg per tank, with the highest ever around 26 and the lowest I think 23. I ask because I am going to sell my car since I never drive it, finish my family stuff and schooling, then buy another sports car and have been eyeing the C5's and never considered a Z.

i dont have a 370 but am interested in the s2k for me or someone i know (depending on pricing and all)

AP1 or AP2? Color?Mileage?mods?price?

I had an s2k and let someone drive it = totaled. Now a friend of mine just got one and already blacked the wheels and put on the T1R and a test pipe which makes me want another because i had the same exhaust (mine and his = AP1's)... Never trade it for my Z tho, maybe have both or tell a friend that is kinda looking...Thanks

370z is too new to have people on here commenting.I have an 07 z. Regularly turn 27mpg with it and about 19 with autocrossing. Track days, the worst I've gotten with the commute there is 11mpg.Whats he planning to do with it?The c5 offers more power, more trunk space, equal gas mileage (if not better).

It's handy, but it's a little slow. I can shift faster than it reacts so occasionally I get a jerky shift because it's trying to adjust engine rpms after I've shifted. It is definitely handy for down shifting though.

I've nto driven a 370 as yet bit grassroots motorsports gave a pretty good review of the rev match, they said it was seemless and smoothe, of curse the z has some torque so you won't have to downshift so often

My buddy just got his ap1 few months ago, he just put on the t1r lol, that thing is crazy annoying. But it sounds good. He bought it from some guy, it came with comptech headers, skunk 2 springs, slotted and drilled rotors. he got it for 10k. what a steal, 40k miles on it.

test drove a 370z, downshifting for dummies in my opinion.. it was smooth as hell, but took away from the "skill" factor most people love to buy a true manual trans for, i like the idea but i think it needs a "on/off" setting, its the same idea as traction control, its fun to shut off and play around but when you dont want it on its annoying..

It does have an on/off.

Now quit spamming one-line posts so you can post in Classifieds.
