p.s. Before our track day, my clutch was a little tricky/rough going into 5th gear (I understand this is common on 6MT boxes)

After our day of tyranny abuse (I hammered the box with several rough shifts) the synchro mesh into 5th is shot. It now grinds into 5 no matter how carefully I shift it. (again a common failure mode on the 6MT reported in numerous threads)

The good news is I only have 42k miles on my Z so the dealer is swapping a new gearbox under warranty. I cant wait to drive the new box

pps. Shadezz is helping me powder-coat my wheels while the z is up on the dealer lift. (Thanks again Shadezz) The car is going to come down off the lift wearing a new tranny and new powder-coated rims. All in all I'd say the track beating has done my ride a world of good.
