When you first bought the Z, did you miss any shifts?

In the newest Top Gear episode they reviewed the Z roadster vs the Audi TT and Chrysler Crossfire.

Clarkson and the other guy mentioned they would miss the 2nd to 3rd shift, going 2nd to 5th.

I've missed a few downshifts, but I haven't had that problem.

Any shifting you guys had trouble with when you first picked up the Z?

Hmm, not really, I wasnt very smooth the first hour or so and I guess I may have missed a shift but didnt find any big problems.

Every now and then, but its usually beacuse I'm shifting in and out rapidly through mountain turns, etc...
