I really dont get this... sounds almost like the Z was an impulse buy and you didnt really want it in the first place.

I learned to drive stick on my first car and had so much fun learning because I loved the car. So you stall a few times and maybe look like an idiot trying to get moving at a stop light, big deal.

Like a kid who buys a snowboard the first time he ever hits the slopes. If youre gonna give up after falling on your *** a few times then whyd you buy it?

I dunno, sounds off to me.

Let me edit my post. At the end of the day, to each their own man - GLWS.

I guess I value comfort, luxury, and space more than I thought, I'm most likely looking at something like a 335i/S4/S5/M3/C63 AMG instead.

Good luck with the sale. You may want to just go ahead and see how much you can get for it as a trade in for the car you want.

I never owned a stick car before my 370Z. I've driven stick only a handful of times (not that well, may I add) and learned my 370Z in less than a day.

I bet the silly rev-match is whats throwing you off. A friend of my brothers bought a Z recently. My brother was making fun of his shifting and how much gas he kept giving it until I told him about the rev match.

Do not expect the little blip of gas in the rev match to handle the entire shift. You might want to try it with the Rev-match off as long as it doesn't also turn off some traction control or something.

I learned how to drive stick by test driving used cars. :D Of course, revving the gas to 3k and dumping the clutch wasn't exactly good practice for daily driving but it helped nail down the basics.

:bowrofl:

A nice hill always helps find that sweet spot in the clutch too ;)

the spot of the clutch is best find on a flat surface you just slowly start taking off the clutch until the car moves (no gas applied) and then its only muscle memory

i don't know about you guys but one of the reasons i like driving a manual trans. car is the fact that not everybody can drive it very well. to me it is sorta like excel in a sports that other people find challenging.

MakoFury 01-22-2011 08:03 PM
