Former Z Owner's Rant about the 370z

From what I remember people on s2ki did big turbo builds on stock transmission, the weak link was the differential which was remedied by going aftermarket.

To this day I can't think of a manual transmission that shifts as nice as the s2k.

It's got some other problems (i.e 3rd gear pop out) but yeah, Honda can make a transmission for sure. But for 90% of the other vehicles ive driven with 200+ lb-ft torque and 250+ hp, the Z's transmission is not bad.
