Not the greatest cinematography (!) and some of the driving technique sucks too, but you get the idea

The thing I hate is that it shifts slower when you do it manually rather than fully automanic mode. Second of all, see how it sounds stupid when you shifted from I think 3rd to 4th gear and theres no pause it just drops in rpms and sounds kind of dumb, obviously because its an auto.... my question is what about DSG's? What the exact name for the GTR's tranny is, does it sound like that when just casually driving and shifting? I would think it would sound just like it since it shifts instantly with no delay between gears. All I've seen are vid's of people getting on it in the GTR.
What exhaust do you have, seems to be pretty loud. I tend to usually rev out to 3-4kish to get a good exhaust note and not sound bad. 7AT will be funny to see on the 370z since im used to only 5 gears, cant imagine having to shift 2 more times, been thinking of going manual possibly on next car, not sure.

+1 I didn't hear any delay in the shifts at all, every shift sounded instant and he wasn't even getting on it.. I'll be going with the transgo kit next spring/summer .

Sigh.... not a delay from gear to gear. I meant a delay from when you hit the paddle to the tranny actually shifting. Same way when you go into manual mode and hit the shifter up theres a delay from hitting it to the tranny actually doing it. There seems to usually be less of a delay when your getting on it as to casualy shifting but theres still a delay. I drive the car everyday so I experience it. The tranny is quick, there just seems to be a delay in the ecu I guess. Nice sounding exhaust though, I plan to go with the berk hfc as well in next few months.

^^^ I know exactly the delay you speak of, but he doesn't seem to have this with the VB upgrade. I wonder if there's a way to make the ECU react faster for those with the VB upgrade.

Yea I'm not sure why the ecu delays the shift. Ive seen it as bad as half a second before the tranny reacts to my movement. Probably a full second if your just coasting. The new 370 interior pics look nice for auto's, shows the paddles.

If I'm not mistaken I think the paddles can be adjusted, at least thats what I read in the description.
