I don't know if it's all the same pieces on the 370z, but even in an infiniti car, it was lackluster and uninspiring.

Yupp, I test drove the 370z regular & NISMO and G37s manuals. It's not only the unrefined engine, but also the way the shifters shake like hell past 5500 rpm. It's a rough maneuver to change gears at high rpm, very unpleasant to say the least. BMW manual tranny's have lovers and haters and I personally love the throws.
