you have to power shift to chirp third or spin 2nd. but you can chirp 2nd with straight power. in wet conditions you can be doing 10mph in 1st, step on it, and the tires will spin, dont even have to be in the power band.
but yeah, the Z has a bit more force behind everything, for example, the Z has 200ftlbs at 2000RPMs, while the S2000 has only like 156 ftlbs MAX. also the extra mass of the V6, with a heavier flywheel, ect. leads to a bit more UMPH when you power shift.

On cold tires, foot off clutch, @ 4000 rpm in 2nd gear...
If I gun the throttle, the tires spin wildly. Lotsa' torque, not enough traction. Stook is completely different car.

IMO, you don't even have to powershift to get it to spin in 2nd. I shifted into 2nd a few minutes ago under 6000 rpm, and it still made the VDC kick in, and I didn't power shift (I assume you are meaning not letting off the gas at all when clutching).
IMO, though, this engine seems to hold its RPMs for a bit after you let off the gas. I don't know if it is a heavy flywheel, or just the fact I haven't daily driven a performance car with a MT in awhile and am forgetting how other cars I've driven in the past have performed.

heavy fly wheel? anyone have light flywheeL? any difference in this car?(except for faster rpm climb?) I haven't really seen a car that's NA and spin the wheel till redline in 2nd.. I only seen superchargers or turbo cars that do that... what are average 1/4 mile time on this car? I know s2k "can" get around 13.8 stock.. this car should be faster then that right?

funny this was brought up.... i haven't really punched my car until this past weekend... i decided to wait until i hit at least 2,000 miles before i tested to see how much potential the z had... and so, with confidence i can say that the z does chirp from 1st to 2nd easily (i even had vdc on)... i took it up to 6000 rpms before i shifted, and i felt the rear end come out... clearly, it was one of the most exhilirating experiences ever!

My tires were fully warmed. I was in manual mode. Shifted to 2nd when the rpm went over 5000. I felt the back end going to the side! Kind of scared me. Ahh the low to mid end torque..is impressive for a 3.5 v6.
