I don't see an issue learning on a 370z. I do think that the SynchroRev option is a great training wheel, as you don't have jerky downshifts ruining your confidence. So I would probably try to learn manual on the 370 with SR option on, so you get used to how the car should be responding when you downshift. Then go out to a big ol' parking lot or unused stretch of road and practice with SR off.

I wish the US required driving skills tests to be taken in manual cars...
