Thoughts after my first test drive of the 6MT 370z

I too have a Mazdaspeed 3 and when I test drove the 370 I thought it was a lot smoother than the Speed. But I also have upgraded motor mounts in my speed to make it more rigid....so maybe thats why lol. I didnt have any problems with the clutch and brake and really the only problem I did have was I stalled the car once at a stop light. Prolly from not being use to driving it yet. Seems like the sweet spot is a lot bigger than it is in the Speed, where you have to pretty much decompress the clutch all the way before the car starts moving or anything. I remember getting out of the car after the test drive and being like...yeah this is gonna be my next car. Felt alot quicker than the speed, and through me back in the seat at first. I can only imagine what it feels like with being twin turboed.
