Test drove 370z -- have concerns -- help!

Got ya. I'm just getting the shifting thing down in my 370. I hadn't driven a manual in 7yrs and I will say that the 370 clutch is a bit touchy. I'm not sure if you've seen the other threads in the general about shifting being a bit of a PITA but there are quite a few. I've driven my friends STi which was much easier and he even had an aftermarket clutch that was pretty grippy. The launching in AWD is incomparable to that of RWD so I'm sure that's what you were feeling plus the turbo. But yeah the 370 interior and overall styling is awesome. Good luck on your hunt!

Thanks for all the advise. I found a 40th anniv in town, so i'm gonna go test drive that tomorrow evening. I'm not sure which color I like better -- the other z i'm looking at is platinum graphite. The anniv edition is on sale for around 36K, so I should be able to swing a pretty good deal on that one.
