I'm probably just being paranoid, cuz I bought one of the first 2003 350Z's.
I experienced a lot of headache from recalls and TSBs....along with a lot of other '03 Z owner friends that had to withstand tranny repairs, alignment issues with the front wheels, bad synchros, rear axle clicking, faulty power windows, etc....

I'm just saying....a lot of first year sports cars have it rough, which is why i always try to wait until the problems are ironed out.

But this feature seems like it has potential to be a nightmare if something goes wrong.

Am I alone in this?

Sorry, just trying to play devil's advocate here, folks.
As far as I know, the manual is the same as before with the sync rev match added (which can be turned off) and the 7AT has been feild tested already with the same power level or more in a heavier car. Hopefully the tire situation they went through on the initial 350Z would make them particularly sensitive in this area with added testing at least...
