Great advice ... mod the driver. The Z looks and runs great the way it is. If you get the sports package it has syncro rev matching which is a great deal for anyone just learning how to drive manual. I would encourage you to attend a driving school like ...

Tire Rack Street Survival School

You take your own car and learn the limitations in both wet and dry, at speed. The instructors are cool and they will love that somebody shows up in a Z. There might be some wrestling matches to be the instructor in your car. A quote from their home page ....

"The primary emphasis of Tire Rack Street Survival is a 'hands-on' driving experience in real-world situations! We use your own car to teach you about its handling limits and how you can control them."

It's $75.00 and worth every penny.

Don't listen to the haters. When your parents offer to buy you a 370Z, you say YES!
