The flywheel is very heavy on the 370Z, which causes retained inertia and thus slower rev drops once the clutch is down. You have to wait a solid 1 or 1.5 seconds in the 370Z before letting off the clutch.

The flywheel in your RSX is quite a bit lighter, and so it slows down faster, which allows you to shift it quicker. I drove an Audi A5 2.0T and it also has a really light flywheel that requires snappy shifts, otherwise it jerks.
