Shifting into first while moving is not that big of a deal ... if done properly.

I recommended that OP not shift until stopped because he/she doesn't seem to have a lot of experience with a manual. I've downshifted many manuals into first at "high" speed - you just have to time it right (and maybe do a little fancy foot work). With some practice, OP should be able to do so too.

But I haven't driven a manual 370Z and maybe there's something special about the 6MT, so YMMV.
