When I drive my automatic winter beater in traffic it is so boring I want to tear my hair out.
I use to think like that. The Z is my first auto and I'm kinda digging the break. The auto Z not being a slouch probably helps with that. Granted, I've was driving stick 100% for nearly 30 years. Plus, my Ghia is manual so I can still slam gears when I get a wild hair.

I do 75% of my driving on a 30-40mph zone and I find myself in 4th 5th gear mostly.

It's not wasting gas. It's called enjoying you exhaust! ;)

I've been known to putt along in 6th at 35/40 mph. It's fine so long as just cruising, especially on the flatlands here in IL.

The gearing is really wacked on both the G and the 370Z. Top gear (6th) is usually highway/over drive, but to be cruising at 65 mph in 6th gear at 2500 rpm is just wrong. My old camaro would be doing 80 mph at barely 2K rpm in 6th. From what I recall, something like 2800 or 2900 rpm is 80 mph in this car.

Im doing first gear pulls everywhere, I never go faster than 45 miles/hour, even on the highway. Hope my engine lasts.
