Some good news. My little cousin just got an 03 350Z 6MT and he's gonna start coming to the MD meets with me. As an added bonus, I finally have a car that I can learn/practice driving manual with. Took it for a spin today and I can definitely see why driving a manual is so fun. Thanks again Rob for teaching me that day! Still need to get used to getting off the clutch slowly and smoothly, but i had no issues driving it on the road.
Also as a side effect, I really want to test drive a 5.0 now with the brembo package using my newly acquired 6MT skills
