Well, notwithstanding the degree of insult inflicted on self-described "sports car purists", I think, we can probably expect all flavors of the Z to offer the 7AT as an option, as it seems to be the only available trans on the Q60 (and is now available on latest Nismo, plus was always an available option on all the Japanese models), it would be weird for them to simply not bother to include it.

I'll buy the most powerful one I can afford that also has the 7 speed. I love that trans, and after tuning, its really, really fast on the gear changes.

Of course, I'm pretty sure there will be a 6MT version for each as well, so something for everyone

Actually, does anyone know if there are mechanical differences between the 300 and 400 bhp 3.0TT models? Is it all just tune, or does the 400 hp one have differently sized turbos?

EDIT: According to A Deeper Look at Infiniti's New Twin-Turbo 3.0-liter V-6

This speed sensor is what allows engine programmers to spin the VR’s turbos up to 240,000 rpm, a speed Infiniti claims is the fastest of any production V-6 engine.
Well, shit. That's pretty exciting! That all sounds upgradeable via tuning and maybe a few other minor changes, like the speed sensor they mentioned. I wonder about the motor mounts, tho...
