Got my nw Z TT today. Its my first auto. What does the power switch actually do?? I think it holds the gears in longer but I am not too sure whether it makes any difference.

 

Why does the car seem to go faster when overdrive is off?

Even at low gears. I always thought overdrive was like a 6th gear for cruising.

 

A word about manual boxes. I floored it with O/Drive off, power switch on on a slightly damp straight road and in second the car could hardly stay on the road - so if you want to live longer drive an auto.

Fu*k knows what a manual TT would be like - how do you manual TT boys keep them on the road? Whats the point of all that power with no control?

There is control if you have good tyres and good suspention and its dry.

It's called driving!!:rolleyes:

You treat the throttle with the respect it deserves,otherwise it's goodnight Vienna!:eek:

But if you've got an auto you don't need to worry about that:p

Cheers,

F.T.

300 Horses,

You say it's your first auto,is it your first Z as well?

F.T.:confused:

Yes, Sold my Tubby (MR2 Turbo) as I needed more seats for my kids which I see once a month. My criteria was a car that has a targa, under £6000, with +200BHP and nothing else touches a Z.

Very pleased with it - its faster than the Tubby, even in auto and so SMOOOOTH, with those 6 cylinders.

Would love to drive a manual TT - surely a 5 speed box has very long gears. Even a Calibra Turbo has 6 speeds as does a new shape Supra - but the Z is dead sexy to look at, is pretty darn quick in auto mode so I settled for an auto. I have heard the the manual box in a TT does get eaten up pretty quickly (as in a Mitsubishi GTO)
