09 370z 7speed auto,sports pkg.k & n filters. sweet ride. my question is if i want to get the most performance out of dead stop is it better to turn off or on the traction control? could any one help me outon this .thanks,,,,,,,,,,,,

Typcically it's better to leave the TCS off but that doesn't mean you can just floor it off the line because you will spin the tires. Turn TCS off and modulate the throttle off the line for the best acceleration. You'll of course have to practice to get perfect.

Why don't you take it down a deserted road and find out?

TC Off then launch the car at half clutch and half gas. Once the car bites then let clutch out the rest of the way and floor the gas................

P.S. been doing street cars with street tires this way for 50 years and it works every time

With the automatic, I would leave the VDC on.

An automatic on a z... agh!

Question: is that factory tint, dealer option or aftermarket?


Great looking Z, first time I've seen the darker grey.

Ooooooops, missed that part

I am pretty sure that the tint is aftermarket, or purchased at the dealer as an aftermarket option. I don't think the Z comes with tint.

Nice lookin Z

The Z does not come with tint from the factory.

We almost got Platinum Graphite, but changed our minds to Solid Red when we saw one. The red almost completely fixes the the tail light "anomalies"...

thanks to all of you guys i have experimented with tc off and on and i;m here to tell tou guys that on auto there;s hardly any difference,other than the fact that the car is more controllable with tc on.as far as the z being an auto, well its still a hell of a ride.runs fast and after i install the hi- flow cats it'll run even better.hte tint is from a local shop here in new mexico.........thanks again to all you and long live the Z....
