Shift every second? You've been watching F&F way too many times. I DD my Z and having a manual isn't all that bad in traffic. It just takes some getting use to. If your afraid to learn to drive stick, thats a whole different story.
In any case, don't buy it unless its what you really want. There's a lot more to it than a simple transmission swap. No dealer would be crazy enough to do that for you unless they like loosing money.
...and yes, you need car insurance before you leave the lot in NY state. I would also warn you that insurance for this car in NY isn't cheap, even with a clean record.
