While I always encourage learning stick in a not-so-nice car, whats with all the people claiming he's going to trash the clutch just because he is new? Thats just poppycock, and you guys just dont want him "learning" (even though he already has the basic experience) on the 370.

Take your time, and remember to not be abrupt with ANYTHING. Clutch/throttle skills are all about muscle memory and coordination - both of which come with practice. My friend who recently got a stick car - her FIRST stick car (a Mazda3 btw), had no problems driving it home from the dealership with basic VERBAL instructions. After 1 month, she cant stop talking about how amazed she is that she's doing so well now.
