Thoughts on why no DCT for the Z....

The reason the Z doesn't have DCT is because Nissan doesn't want to do a major change mid-way through the 370Z's life cycle. Just look at the 2013 refresh as

The reason the Z doesn't have DCT is because Nissan doesn't want to do a major change mid-way through the 370Z's life cycle. Just look at the 2013 refresh as an example of that. I think we will see DCT in the next gen Z, whenever that comes. It didn't come with DCT to start with because Nissan wanted to keep it further away from the GT-R at first. After years of experience with the GT-R's DCT, I hope the next gen Z gets the same one at a lower cost or gets some sort of watered down version. Either way, it will probably be better than the current 7AT.
