Got rid of my 370z after 2 months...
 
Picked up a clean 09 370Z, 8K miles, manual, sport package. However, the tranny/gear whine became unbearable(dealer said it was normal). I could clearly hear it on the street, and when driving through a parking garage, it was borderline embarrassing. Also, the transmission on this car is the most jerky/clunky tranny I've ever driven. The first to second shift is horrible! On the test drive, i didn't think much of the whine, and I thought the clunkiness would get better as I learned the clutch. Not the case, it's the tranny, period!

Picked up a '13 Mustang GT(6M). Shoulda done that in the first place!

If the sound of a highly engineered, highly mechanical car as the 370Z was not your taste, telling us that you've made a switch is not a surprise.

Also, it should only make a very noticeable whine in first gear. If you had that whine in other gears, might have been a problem.

Let the Camaro forum figure that out when he trades the Mustang in 2 months. ;)
