Here's a reader review of the 370Z off of cars.com. Funny, because I have a Mustang GT too and I'm thinking of doing the same thing: giving up the 'Stang for the Z!
I'm curious if anyone can answer his question about why Nissan put a plastic cover over the bottom of the engine? Is it as simple as "low car, protect the engine from pavement scraping"?

"I gave up my Mustang GT for this little gem (Silver touring with nav and 6 speed)and don't regret it. It handles like no other car I have ever driven and even the ride is better than expected. The power rush is unbelievable for 3.7 liters and just about ever one gives it a double take, little wonder, it's probably the only one in town. I am unfamiliar with the overall reliability of this particular machine which appears to be very technical and closely packaged.
My only gripe at this point is why the 16 bolt plastic pan covering the entire engine bottom including the oil drain plug and filter??? Why 16 bolts for a plastic cover, it costs an extra $10.00 for an oil change due to the labor required for removal and reinstallation!!!"
