I let him drive my 370Z just to see what he would think. Naturally he wasn't in love with the 7AT but he didn't think it was a bad transmission. Overall he liked it much better than his 300ZX and said the choice would be easy to buy the 370Z.

You have to remember the 300ZX is 21 years old. Comparing it to a new Z isn't exactly fair and I think the 300ZX does a fine job holding its own.
