Why? Hmmm... I dunno why did they put it in the 370z to begin with?
I can already heel toe / double clutch just fine, that's not my worry.
In the city when their is a red light its not so fun to use the syncro's (wear and tear), and sometimes people get lazy and don't always want to work their mind/body 100% just to slow down and downshift at the same time.
Not to be an asshole, but I did get shot in the hand and sometimes having to heel-toe requires too much thinking. It's different when pain is involved, legs twitch sometimes in unexpected ways so give me a f'n break.
Sure Toyota isn't going to make it just for me, but if they can do it, guaranteed it will increase sales.
Learn? seriously? Why don't you embrace the technology? I mean there is an OFF switch to push when you have time to learn the blip points/gear ratios.
I mean shit carving a canyon road is fun, but sometimes it's tooo much to be alll over the place allll the time.
There is a difference between work and fun. Do you see heel toe in F1? no. They dont do it, why should we? They go faster by being able to apply more pressure on the brakes, and more time thinking about the driving line vs how long to blip the throttle.
Even real drivers seem to enjoy syncro rev. I have test driven a 370z and trust me the syncro rev is just fun sometimes. Plain old fun. Slowing down to a stop light with zero fuel consumption is nice too.
I mean why not? Instead of asking me why, ask yourself why not.
What harm is done?
I know I went on a rant. I tried being as positive as possible, but your ignorance is quite unforgiving. I already know how to do most driving techniques. I went to Jim Russel Racing School when I was 15...im 20 now.
The only technique they did not teach was left-foot braking.
That is a fun one to learn HAHA. First time i thought i was gonna faceplant in my steering wheel lol.
Sorry if I flipped bud, I just thought it would be a nice feature for a fun car.
