Either that or the 6MT is just inefficient

Traditional autos have terrible drive train losses because they don't make solid connections between the engine and trans (i.e., fluid coupling); the 7AT on the Z has full lock-up (i.e., a solid connection between the motor and trans) from 2-7, so drive train losses are equivalent to the MT.
