Not knocking on Nismos because obviously Zs are not menat for drag times completely. Here is a post by Cars and drivers
Well, for one thing, the automatic is quicker. By our measure, the 370Z NISMO automatic shot to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds and passed the quarter-mile mark in 13.6 at 106 mph, 0.3- and 0.1-second quicker than the last manual-equipped370Z NISMO*we tested. We still haven’t been able to match what appears to have been a particularly quick,*non-NISMO 370Z automaticwe tested a few years back (and not for lack of trying). Even with 332 horsepower, that car hit 60 in 4.6 seconds and powered through the quarter in 13.1 seconds at 108 mph.
Depends on the driver and your intentions of the car. I believe the less weight of the base is the reason
