The car will drive in 6th at just over 40 is you don't ask much of it other than cruising down the street.

I shift into 6th at 33.0 mph, just like the manual says. That's why I lose every street race I get involved in.

Got to hand it to you...... I read the extensive, owners manual several times, but don't think I recall the shift speed recommendation. My brain probably skipped it each time. Not questioning it's not in there, just that my foot will not let me pull off the pedal as much as I should. With the Z, it's hard not to play a little, and I just can't seem to wipe this sh*t eating grin off my face. Anyone else with this problem?
