Everyone has to start somewhere. So start slow, don't be nervous and you'll get it. The biggest thing is to be confident in what you're doing and take your time. There are times where you may want to rush it because other cars are pressuring you. But block them out and do it right. And have fun!(but be safe)

I was comparing to a 4 cylinder Integra, not a Porsche - everything is relative

You'll get it. My first MT car was a 02 Eclipse. And I tought myself how to drive MT. I never drove MT before but I just show up at the dealer and pickup a MT and drove home on my own! Before that, every time i'm on an AT, i pretend it was MT and practice my food and shifting patern. I showed my wife how to drive MT last week, she was scared and like you did, stall the engine most of the times, but i think she love th Z and want to drive so she will have to learn!!!!...ohh, another thing is you also need to learn how to down shift too...like everyone said, practice and you'll be good before you know it!! Good luck and Congrat on the new Z

, learn how to upshift. I bought my Z as a 1st manual too and I'm doing great, it takes time
