Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - starting from stop? (first time manual owner)

Hey guys, 370z is my first manual car and I have some questions about shifting from stop.

Some of my friends told me that for DD its easier to just start from 2nd gear, instead of starting from 1st gear, unless im racing or needing fast start.

Is it ok? my guess is ill have a bit more clutch wear than starting from 1st.

Also on slippery conditions, such as raining day or snow, is it easier to start moving from 2nd gear? rather than 1st?

Its my first manual car... so I just have many questions from what i heard from ppl about driving manual car.
