Downshifting to 2nd or 1st while moving (technique)

If I remember correctly, 2K-ish. I don't drive my car every day.

I'd stay in 3rd, personally. If you have to accelerate quickly to get out of danger/avoid something, you won't have as much power available and it's harder on the engine. If you need to slow down to avoid something, you'll end up downshifting to 3rd once you need to accelerate again.

I don't own a 370Z, but that's based on years of experience in a wide range of manual transmission vehicles.
