Clutch

This is my first manual transmission car too, but I've ridden sportbikes for about 6 years now.

I can get around just fine now, but first to second is tougher for me too. I guess because it takes so long for the revs to fall on the Z. A sportbike revs from 1k to 8k in under a second. I figure in the Z you just get rolling and then short shift first just to get in second as quick as you can. If you run first gear up to high, it takes forever for the revs to fall for second.

It's getting annoying having to think about it still (had the car not even a month). On a bike, I'm smooth enough that a passenger can't even tell when I shift, except for the sound. I'm looking forward to shifting in a car becoming muscle memory like it is on a bike.
