Downshifting like that is really only needed on heavier vehicles (like fire trucks). The reason is to prevent excessive brake wear (would only be good for approx. 10,000 miles or less), and prevent brake fade... For the Z, unless you are tearing up some back road, and need the acceleration, you should just put it into neutral and just coast to a stop... Hope this helps!
