What new features would you like to see on the 370Z?

Well, no matter the car, you can't start off at a dead stop in 4th. On a manual, I guess you could if you slipped the clutch a ton until the speed caught up. I can't be bothered to do the math, but I'm sure if you did you'd find something like 5mph in 4th ends up at like 150rpm, which is too slow for the engine to not die.
