Over the past week or so, I have been driving my buddies Eclipse to get back in the hang of a stick and was wondering if you guys had any pointers or tips for a beginner?

Thanks in advance!
Deja Vu! That's exactly what I did... Practiced on a friend's eclipse!

The Z is going to be harder to stall than an eclipse but the eclipse is going to be easier to control for a first time manual driver. Practice driving on hills. Once you master that, you'll be just fine.
