In the past, ive typically tried to keep it under teh 1000 rpm, but i think with this car, especially on any sort of incline, thats near impossible... unless im just not used to the car yet...

Pelican170,
I've driven manual's my whole life and the Z has (by far) the "touchiest" clutch that I have ever driven. You will get used to it, but there is a learning curve for sure. Also, there are clutch helper springs that others talk about that really seem to help a lot. I replaced mine at the end of the season and there was a marked difference.
As they say, "practice makes perfect", but in the case of the Z, "practice makes better!" Good luck, and this means that you'll have to drive it more, oh darn!!!!
