Hello everyone! I just recently bought a '10 370z PG MT and I gotta say im lovin it!! The car freakn hauls and im not use to this much power (coming from a 01 honda accord AT) its my first sports car ever and im still getting use to the manual transmission. i kinda get nervous when i start off at 1st gr cause i dont wanna stall and hold traffic but hopefully with more practice I'll be able to be more comfortable with it. Anywayz here is a few pics of my ride from iphone today, little disappointed there was no sun out.
Any owners that bought this as your first manual transmission car, how long did it take you to finally get use driving stick??

Congratulation Man!!! And Welcome!

I have learned how to drive on a stick shift on my first driving lesson for a week
And that was the last time I drove manual for so many years, but when I got
my Z I had to go manual. It only took me a day just to get hang of it, but on
the traffic I find myself uncomfortable driving stick, I found this guy on youtube
YouTube - How to drive manual in traffic :tup: and it helps
me alot how to drive on traffic effectively :driving:

You will get used to driving manual transmission real quick...I already drove manual from my previous car before I got the Z so that was easy for me. 1st gear is always the hardest! Just practice a lot on hills. :D Congrats on the car!

Very nice car and you are lucky to be able to drive it right now. Mine is sitting in the garage waiting for the snow to go away. Insurance is real cheap right now though. :)

thanks!! man I love this car, im starting to really get use to driving manual but driving through traffic is a pain in the !!!
The only other thing I dont like about this car is that it can get pretty loud on highways and gas mileage is pretty bad compared to my old ride (01 accord).
This ride is super quick I dont quite understand how people can throw on tt or supercharger to gain more HP-->crazy!! theres plenty of power.
My first mod is GTR ignition switch which looks 10x better than stock (has racy feel to it) Next I'll add a JDM fog light for the rear.
Here are some random pics taken from my iphone4

If you're in the break-in period, you may not be getting as good of gas mileage. After engine break-in, mileage generally improves.

It is noisy, which I don't mind, but there are aftermarket options if it really bugs you.

Congrats on the Z!!!
