Reverse gear is too weak to go up driveway properly
Hi, I have a '08 base manual coupe. I just noticed that reverse gear is geared in such a way (too long?!), that I have a hard time backing it up my slight inclined driveway.
I have couple of other 4 cylinder cars, that can fly up the driveway even without pressing the accelerator. With the Z, I need to slip the clutch and keep the revs up.
I am just wondering if this is a normal thing for the Z. Thanks!!

I like to roll smoke and slip the nose out into the street in reverse when in my supra.
It's like pulling the needle off a record in my neighborhood.
They all complain about the effects of 2nd hand smoke.
I keep the burnt rubber as close to in my actual drive way as possible.
If the smell of burnt rubber, gasoline and exhaust fumes are too much.
You're too old.
BTW. I live outside city limits so they can all get screwed.
Can't help that I'm the only gear head out here.
