The 370z holds it's own against any stock car. And the AT in the 370 is far superior to the 350's AT which was a pig in all respects. Heavy slow and a power hog.
um, the 5AT in the 350Z only weighed about 10 to 20 lbs more than the 6MT. Heavy it ain't. Shifting speed was at least average to good as opposed to the 7AT's best in class. It was a very light AT for it's time, just needed at bit faster shift times (fixable with a shift kit). It's downfall is not being able to hold power past about 400 WHP without having problems.

Here is a quick link to some curb weights.... http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Weight_Reduction_Guide
