But for 90% of the other vehicles ive driven with 200+ lb-ft torque and 250+ hp, the Z's transmission is not bad.
I currently drive a 2004 Accord 6MT (240ish hp and I think about 180 ft lbs) with 110K miles and the original clutch is still amazingly smooth. I swear a perfect shift in that car even now is better than the Z with SRM on. It was my wife's DD before we got her the Z, and now she's like 'I can't feel your clutch at all!'

Personally, though, I like the 'rougher' action in a vehicle with more power like the Z.
