This is easily done on cable-driven throttle bodies and on some newer cars with electronic "Fly-By-Wire" throttle bodies. I believe all cars since 2005 are fly-by-wire. For example, on my 2007 Solstice, you cannot power shift. The throttle body automatically closes if you try to power shift. But newer models now allow this.

With the syncrorev matching system on with the 370z, I wouldn't attempt this. With it off, I'm sure it's possible.

Sounds like bad shifting in general, like flatfoot shifting (same thing?)... but it is possible, although without a strong clutch or tranny (or both), something might break. If not those two, possibly a torque sensing diff or a bad driveshaft, even the connections, could break. But that also means in a car with high torque curves (linear like our Zs), you can basically chirp the tires constantly up to 2nd or 3rd gear. Pretty insane.
