I'm not complaining since the maintenance othe than tires have been minimal but with the depreciation of the vehicle, I'm beginning to think maybe a new ride will be better and I love the style of the 370z. Test drove a mustang 5.0 and it feels so disconnected from the road compared to my G so that is out -- but man can that car get up and go. LOL
It blows my mind that a handfull of failed parts on ANY vehicle classifies it as a fault. Seriously how many 370Z's have failed syncros?

Tire wear will be normal with your alignment set to the suggested specs with non-agressive driving. Doing brake stands, dumping the clutch, racing, or any other type of agressive driving will cause agressive wear on the parts. It's possible people with abnormal tire wear are not within specs from new. Most people don't bother to do an alignment on a new car....
