I used to own a 2009 G37xS. The 'x' only comes in 7AT. I have also driven a '10 370z 7AT. The G didn't feel as aggressive as the Z. The shifts felt better and faster in the Z. The G got even worse after I had taken it in for the TCU reprogramming TSB. In the G, I felt like after you pull the upshift paddle, you watch the gear indicator on the dash change to the next gear, and then wwwwwaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiitttttt, and finally - gear change! Honestly, the 370Z felt better all around whether it was the weight of the car, TCU programming, or seat of the pants feel. As good as the 7AT is, I think it could be a lot better if it was a true dual clutch setup, and not a torque converter.
