Looking for advice on a 370Z

[sprocket2]

Hi All, I just joined the forum. I've been driving an '05 G35 coupe 6MT for the last 6 years and am thinking about a 370Z to replace it. From my time with the G35, I loved almost everything about it but had 3 issues.
1. the way it eats the inside on the front tires (they get pretty noisy that way!)
2. the red paint is crappy- the front of the hood and fenders have road rash from highway driving
3. never liked the feel/release of the clutch

Given the closeness of the 2 cars, I'm looking to the experts here to let me know what they see as the best points for the 370Z and does it have the same issues as the G (and what are your 'wish they fixed that' items?

Thanks in advance!
