It's relatively hard to do damage to our stock 7AT, if not actually impossible without attempting to shift into Reverse or Park while moving. We're probably all going to be more at the mercy of random engine issues or general unavoidable age than we are from issues directly related to beating our 7AT around.

Is it okay to shift in N when coming to a stop?

I redline after I startup to get the oil flowing and get everything up to operating temp quickly to reduce engine wear.

Thats generally "unsafe" you would want to be in gear at all times to make sure you're able to move in the event of an emergency. Same goes for a manual.

I mean when I am almost at a stop putting it into N? Then handbrake up.

I had a Mazdaspeed 3 with 400whp on the stock internals that I built and tuned myself. It hit 22psi and redline prob 10 times a day and it lasted for 80k miles until I traded it in. I will be driving my Z the same way. That is what I buy these cars for. They are designed to be driven hard.
