Aren't these mostly in super-high end cars like Ferrari. Lambo, etc....and maybe some slightly less expensive Porsche models?

me like clutch

Paddle shifting is awsome. If that worked with the stock Z as a simple addon, I would order it right now. Oh well...

I've mentioned that in the future, it would be nice if Nissan offers it. This device is intresting. I'm curious as to how it will engage the clutch and also shift quickly to really get the full excitment.

edit: never mind, you have to buy a compatible transmission.

Suvlaki

Bah it should be stock on all A/T Zs. The RX-8 has it, and the A/T RX-8 (i believe) is a 4 speed with no power. Oh well.

The 2007 (08?) Audi TT has a paddle-shifted electronic gearbox. It's bad ***. Makes me want to buy it if it wasn't an Audi TT.

edit: even if it worked with the current transmission just by telling the computer to "shift up" or "shift down" like the manumatic does, it would make the car alot cooler and make it feel more exotic... like a poor man's ferrari!

Japanese market G35 (Skyline 350gt) manumatic has paddle shifters, you could just order a steering wheel from Nissan Japan.

the paddle shifters in ferraris aren't connected to automatic trannys, has a clutch and shifts faster then 99% of people.. so I wouldnt mind an old mans ferrari paddle shifters

Anderskorn

yea the ones on ferrari's shift faster than 99.99% of people and more consistent than ANYONE ever thought about being.

with all my dreams for my Z.... one day i hope to see not paddles but push button up/down shift electronic on the wheel at the 2 and 10 oclock positions. be able to manipulate the engine management from the touch screen in the center of the wheel..... yea and ill finance this right out of my lunch money i know it would be stupid expensive... but hey... im not saying ill be doing it anytime soon.....

the trick factor would be sick....

The Ferrari is an automatic. All multigear transmissions use a clutch. It doesn't matter if it's an automatic or a manual transmission. Even my two speed chainsaw has a clutch. The Porshe Tiptronic S which is very similar to the Nissan 5AT shifts in less than ~200ms (yes, those are milliseconds) the Ferrari shifts in ~150ms. Those speeds are faster than 100% of all humans. The average human eyeblink is ~300ms and a professional NASCAR driver shifts in ~0.7-0.8 seconds.

And that is exactly why Formula One cars use paddle shifters.

I'll take the old man's Ferrari with paddle shifters any day.

The 2007 G35 Sedan will come with Paddle Shifters on the Sports model...

If the 2007 350z is getting the new G35 Engine then odds are they will also offer the paddle shifters on the 2007 Z....
