How do YOU do it?
I don't know if this is a question just from a rookie, as I just got my Z a month ago, or if it is a matter of personal preference. I think it is more personal preference, but anyways, here goes....
When stopping, do you downshift, using you engine/transmission to help you stop, or just drop out of gear and use the brakes? Which do you think is better?

I just leave it in whatever gear it is in, use the brakes till I slow down enough to put the clutch in so it doesnt stall.
putting it in nuetral wastes gas.

Brakes are for stopping , clutch is for shifting.
Depending on the situation i do select the proper gear as i'm slowing down.

Down shift, It has gotten me out of a couple sticky situations when slowing down and having to accelerating out of a possible accident. There are an endless amount of terrible drivers in santa barbara
