Hondas are smooth. But not apples to apples. And a whole new can of worms.

What could I be doing wrong?

You tried to go fast, maybe you press the gas too hard, keep the pressure on gas pedal linear and the shift action smoothly.

That is a possibility

It just mean your traction control is working. Otherwise your rear would be fishtailing and God only knows whats next.

The thing I didnt mention is that the back wheels swerve! I dont like it. I know i must be doing something wrong, unless is the car.

They would swerve more if you had turned VDC off...

if you don't like it, don't lose traction, to not lose traction, don't drive so fast

Why was your car in the shop?

Steering Lock!

Same Problem that every other 09 Z has

When boost kicks in the yellow VDC light starts flashing. Am I doing something wrong?

Glad you're having fun! Just avoid the money shift.

im a die hard stick shift driver, but i really really wish i got the 7AT. Its amazing how clunky and sloppy this gearbox is.. I have to pray to not get smoked by a Toyota Camry without having to floor it to get to 3rd gear.

Wow, some of you guys most of just had bad luck with your trannys. My 09 shifts nice and smooth, same with two previous 350z's I owned.

And I would never own an automatic sports car

Sometimes I feel that it wont left me shift to the right gear, Is that because its not the right gear I should be shifting to?

Is this before or after the dealership replaced your CSC?
