''fast, and accelerate quickly. MPG is more important than acceleration, but I would like to have the best of both worlds""

some reading on the forums will reveal that the consensus on acceleration is to accelerate at about 80% power *briskly* they say .. the scan gauge would be invaluable in sorting out that sweet spot

i do not know about those new Z's but if i apply 80% power referencing my vacuum gauge i go up through the gears PDQ..

to join the team simply click on the 'sports car' link on the left , then put a check in the radio box on that page *join team*

put your care in the online garage here and start a fuel log..
