Any manual transmission with gear ratios like the Z (e.g., 3.7ish for 1st gear, 2.3 for 2nd, etc.) is going to be more difficult to master compared than your sport coupe or sedan (where 1st will be around 3.3 and 2nd under 2.0, etc.).
Just to clarify, when I advised not to release the clutch too slowly I was focusing on the length of time it takes for the pedal to travel. Waiting for revs to fall is certainly a factor in smoothness (unless one is looking to "chirp" the tires, of course!).
