If it did effect a large percentage, I would guarentee a fix would be made available from Nissan because it would effect future sales and revenue and the Z would end up as a failed project.
Not widespread to all owners maybe, but what percentage of people who actually track their 370Z have the problem?

Lets design a sports car that you cant drive like a sports car, woo woo! Well, you can I guess...for about 15 minutes.

Wellllll, kinda...the appropriate statement for the GT-R is:

"Hey, lets design a sports car and advertise it as being "capable" of doing an AMAZING 0-60 time...but with a tranny that cant sustain repeated attempts at it!"

Otherwise, the GT-R is a proven track star, despite its size.

BMW, Mercedes Benz etc have all made sports cars for the road that do require modifications to be able to be tracked. Just check out the other forums and you will see Nissan has done nothing wrong. If you track your car then prepare it like you should. The street is not the track.
