Seem by your needs it is already determined you should not get it.

Could you explain what the SRM feature is? As for the auto, when I test drove it, the downshifting was a pleasure. The rev match worked perfectly and didn't feel anything like my 328i auto or other auto cars I have driven.

SRM = Syncro rev matching, the 370z is the first manual transmission to do this. Think of how the auto works when you downshift it ups the rev for you to create a smoother shift change. Well Nissan has done this with manual transmissions.

Out of Car & Driver:

"Nissan’s SynchroRev Match (SRM) combines the tactile reward of shifting your own gears with the perfectly orchestrated downshifts of an automated manual or an automatic.

In most cars with a manual transmission, a smooth downshift requires a blip of the throttle to match the engine rpm with the speed of the lower gear. And shifting during braking requires the one-foot, two-pedal technique known as heel-and-toeing; your right foot blips the throttle while at the same time pushing the brake pedal. It can be harder to get right than health-care reform. But Nissan’s system, part of the Sport package on manual-transmission 370Zs and standard on the NISMO version, takes care of the rev matching for you."

I am looking at the Canadian Nissan specs sheet and can people confirm these?

It says that without sports package and nav, I still get bluetooth handsfree calling, and viscous limited slip rear differential?

Well, the major concern is the standard feature of Limited slip differential. The us site says, you only get it with the sports package.

Sounds like your not going to get a good deal being in Canada, less availibility. Is there anything other than taxes and registering if you bought one in the northern US?
