Hence my amazement that people are buying this car having never driven stick and are using it to learn
I learned on my friend's '87 300zx. i will perfect my driving on my 370Z. if you regardless of how much driving experience you have, you're gonna have to get used to the car sometime. its not like someone who gets this as their first MT is some kind of lost cause. they'll practice on some other car for 2 days. big deal. then they can get used to their Z. I give them credit. They are betting 30-40 grand that they will be able to learn and it shows that they feel confident that driving an MT is something EVERYONE can do (just like everyone who drives one says "its so easy i dont understand why everyone can't do it.' these people are saying 'screw it. i can learn"
