Let me put it this way, imagine she gets accustomed to just dropping the clutch back in on a downshift, and it's nice and smooth due to SRM. Then she goes and tries the same thing with a different MT car. Wham! Talk about a rude awakening.


Edit: Btw, you're a REALLY nice uncle to teach your niece how to drive MT with your new Z! I don't think I could stand doing that! lol

Guess you're right. Thats what I'll do. She needs to learn the hard way.
About letting her drive-- Its a family thing.
