i have 05 touring edition and i lost to the 2007 honda accord coupe.. i had a wrong start but i should have atleast caught up to him.... the whole time i had my gear on D.. not on tiptronic(manual mode on a automatic car).. so any tips how to race with my tiptronic????? thanks

 

wow.... maybe he was modded? you must have had a bad start. The fastest accord has like 250 hp and its fwd. soooo... i really dont see how you lost. And the best way to figure out the manual mode is to just **** around with it.

 

yeah just mess with it. but you really cant go wrong with just flooring it all the way.

 

haha dude i PWN manual z's with my tip
just remem this 1st gear red lines at 45 2nd at 60 3rd at 95 and ur good so like if ur at a 45 roll drop it to 2nd and u will own it up

 

*smacks his forhead, of boy. I have an 04 accord, and its got some *****, tiny ones, its quick, just lacks torque majorly. I mean any manual will have you from the start cuz they can launch but you should definetly catch up fast in the Z. Never drove an older Z, just know my 07 would rip him one. My friend can take me pretty damn good off the line in his rubicon, but hes got like 4.11's i think and 240tq and stick, but i catch his *** in about 4 seconds lol.

 

yea, but first gear redlines really fast, so do over-do and forget it's on tips haha.

 

is the z really tiptronic? i though it had some wannabe tiptronic auto transmission

 

again with these type of thread...

anyway here my 2 bits

.. start at tiptronic push the pedal all the way to 43ish then bump to 2nd gear

wait a few seconds then push the shifter to automatic

 

IDK wot went wrong wid u other then bad start...you shud of caught him easily..my friend has a 06 accord nd teh other day while coming bakk from a 50 kmph roll i gav him 4 to 5 cars length ...made sure tht he reads my numbr plate ...
p.s mines an A/T and i was driving in normal mode not manumatic
Go get him

 

the 03-05 AV6 coupe seem to avg 14.5 in the 1/4
the 350Z 5AT seem to average between 14.1 to 14.5. The Z should pull away.

 

Mt > At

 

I know a few guys with auto's and they said the triptronic did not help them in the 1/4 at all...then again they may just not know how to use it appropriatly.

I know a guy that has an accord with a few bolt on mods and it moves good!
I could see one staying in front if you got a bad launch on it...

Put some mods on and find the accord again!!

 

^^^^Not mine^^^^....will you guys stop using the word "Tiptronic". Its manumatic or manual mode.Thanks
I doubt very seriously that anyone can shift the AT faster than the ecu.

 

Lets see a time slip.

 

Are you asking me for a time slip or the OP?

 

The OP.

 

???? Why would you ask the OP for a time slip? I don't see him bragging about his AT prowess. He just got thumped by an Accord!!!

I love that shat.

My car is a factory freak.......post a time slip
I pwn MT's.....post a time slip
I pwn AT's....post a time slip
I pwn God...post a time slip

Or don't read the thread and just looking to post *****......post a time slip.

Flame suit on.

 

Who cares what you call it honestly, anyway i only go into manual mode to help engine break, ill usually drop to 3rd if coming to a stop or i use it to carve through curves, ill drop a gear or 2 and power through them. The AT Z would run a MUCH better time if we could launch. Thats our only weak point. Sometimes when cruising slow through a parking lot i leave it in first to listen to my exhaust lol.

I find it weird, when i get on it hard, the manual will shift basicly instantly, but if im just cruising slowly, it lags about half a second literally. Almost like it knows im not in a rush to shift into next gear.

My advice, if racing, drag or not, i would leave it in auto mode, if you shift a fraction too late and hit the rev limiter you screw yourself, auto mode will take it to redline long as you have pedal to the floor.

 

what exactly is the difference between manual mode on an AT and tiptronic ??

 

Tiptronic is a Porsche trademark name for their his & hers auto shifter.
