It's really hard to stall this car.

One thing I failed to take note of is that people treat you differently when you are driving the sexiest thing they have seen that day. I spent an hour and a half in traffic on my way to the dealership, no one cares about your Mazda3. But once I got in that Z, it was like the seas parted - everyone wanted to open up a spot for me! :rofl2:

I am resolved to bond with this car as you so eloquently described, and drive it with passion until my fun days are numbered.

So many have contributed to my decision through this thread (taking both sides), and I am very grateful! All of it has helped me put things into perspective. I feel much more confident now.

Looking forward to adding some pics of my shiny new Z soon!

Maybe tomorrow... :excited:

OP, congrats on the decision. I think you made the right one. Its good to see somebody willing to go out there and learn to drive manual, instead of just saying "screw it" and going AT because they don't want to take a few hours to learn a new skill.

I see the ride has wheels and intakes on it, any other mods? If you plan on keeping those wheels, please buy some spacers for the rear. Those things are sunk in bad.

Here is the thread for spacers if you got non bolt on. This covers 10-25mm spacers but uses a 20 as an example.
