Thanks for the update, James! You know I'm just teasing you . . .

You've got a good product here & a huge market (both Zs & Gs) so take your time in developing & testing the prototype paddle shifter. We need to make sure the final product will be something that will set us apart. It's the closest thing for us to pretend that we're driving a GT-R.

I've seen the paddle shifters James has worked on in person and damn does it look good! I haven't gone for a ride yet, but for anyone who knows the VQ platform, you will be just as impressed as I am. It really gives it that true sports car look. I'm starting to wish I had an AT! Best of luck James with the production on these bad boys!

Yeah, and I had my skinny stock street tires then too! lol I bought an A/T after I found out about the '06 oil consumption issues with the M/T Zs. I'm usually on manual mode though, especially at the track & autocross. I did swapped to the 3.5 FD, which makes my Z quicker for autocross. Also, it doesn't hurt to have the suspension setup I've got in the car right now.
