If Nissan had offered the GT-R's transmission in the Z, I would have gotten it hands down, but the fact of the matter is that the 7AT is just a slushbox automatic with "steptronic".
Actually it's something like a .1 second delay. Just face the hard, cold reality of things: that transmission will shift faster than any human being can possibly shift, ever. I live in an urban environment and I commute every day and I plan on making my 370Z a daily driver so I am definitely getting the 7AT.
