The Nissan 370Z has been described as stronger, lighter and stylish car. The new power plant is Nissan 's 3,7L V6 which is currently producing 3 hundred and 32 HP at 7.000 rpms. The engine also produces 2 hundred and 70 foot pounds of torque at 5.200 rpms.

This coupled with an overall reduced vehicle weight of 2 hundred pounds make the Nissan 370Z more capable on the quarter mile drag strip. The transmission on this serious sports car has quite a bit of new technology. This worries me as sometimes new automotive technologies can be unreliable.
The 6-speed manual transmission includes a computer controlled synchronic matching design.
This means the computer system of the Nissan 370Z will automatically match the RPMs on downshifts which provides simplified driving for twisty and turning roads.
The scariest part about the new synchronous matching system to me is the computer because it monitors the shifter position and then anticipate which gear you are going to go, and match RPMs accordingly. We will have to see how long this system holds up.

Another important thing to mention in the transmission department is that this vehicle will be also available with a 7 speed automatic transmission. It seems that we are on the path of adding more gears to our automatic transmission units every year.

Maybe I should wait for the fourteen speed automatic model to come out? : )
The Nissan 370Z can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in just 5,1 sec and from 0 to 100mph in just 12,8 sec.
