I sometimes wonder about the DRM - I have noticed on occasion when I downshift on deceleration, from 6 to 2, there will be some pretty severe drivetrain shock on the shift to 2 if I am clicking fast - which I thought wouldn't happen if it did a DRM.
In any case, I don't see why the 370Z needs a kick-down switch - the ECU knows when the throttle is wide open, and in D my car has no problem downshifting from 7 to 3 and revving up to 7000 RPM then upshifting at redline.
If you are in M you don't want it to do that, M is for when you want complete control of the gears.
