When I test drove my Z (it was the first 370 I'd ever driven) I was surprised at how "truck-like" the transmission and clutch feel. It is very ratchet-like and torquey. I've driven manual trucks that feel smoother, actually. I figure it's just part of what makes the Z the angry little car it is... it has a finicky personality compared to other sports cars I've owned. Everyone above has good points, with time, it gets smoother and smoother. I would not advise teaching someone (especially your girlfriend or wife) how to drive a manual on the Z, though. It's probably a poor choice, lol.
