The 6MT and 7AT have the same HP. Maybe you meant that the 7AT loses some hp in the tranny. (not much and certainly not considerably) It more than makes up for it in the shifting speed and the gearing. The clutch pedal as we know it will be gone in a couple years. Note the GTR.
You meant high 12s. High 11s would be redonk.

The Z is not that stiff...my god, your all a bunch of pussies! (lol no offense)

I drove my g/f custom delux truck...old Chevy, now that has a stiff clutch. I got back into the Z and about put the clutch pedal through the floor.

Just drove a 6spd 07 today. I've been driving auto and still didn't think the clutch was bad. Coming from someone who's never driven 6spd it wasn't bad at all.

The 370z you're referring to had more than just new rear end gears. It had the full N/A setup, I/H/E.

Probably not the best thread for my first post but I just got a Z 2 days ago.

As a UPS driver, I've driven probably 100 different trucks with different clutches, trannys, etc. Some even without powersteering. The Z shifter feels great. My dd car is a corolla and its not near as good as the Z.

Sorry, I thought it just had gears. ....still pretty amazing for a non built or non F/I car. Part of the quickness comes from the 7AT shifts. Quicker than Spork.

here is the Car and Driver test. 13.1 bone stock, so you know it can do high 12's at a different track. The fastest I have seen a 370Z 6MT at the drags is 13.7.

I DD my ZR MT and it's not anywhere near as bad as the OP makes it sound... although I do miss the kick of the stage one clutch I had on my previous DD.
