Personally, I cannot imagine letting anyone loose in a 370z if they've never driven a manual before, without tuition. This is a seriously powerful rear wheel drive sports car and it's potentially very dangerous, if you're not in complete control. (not suggesting the OP is out of control, by the way).

I honestly don't think the Z is that powerful. I've driven a LOT of fast cars. The Z is about on par (power-wise) with an LS1 F-body. But you're still right that it shouldn't be the learning car for someone to learn manual. I can imagine that someone may let the clutch out a little to fast in a turn and spin the car.
I've taught a few people how to drive stick, and I use my 90 300zx to do it! It's the perfect car to learn on... Not too much or too little torque and an easy clutch to boot!
