I'll listen, I'm just scared of the manual because of what I've heard. Do you think it'd be hard for me to get a hang of? I've never driven a manual before so I'm kind of scared since its new to me.

If you're ready to boost then driving a MT Z shouldn't bother you.... After driving it for a week you'll wonder why you were so worried in the first place. Also, RJM sells an adjustable clutch pedal assembly that makes the car much easier to drive... You may want it when you get a clutch capable of boost.

I guess. I got used to the idea of clutching and shifting on a motorcycle pretty fast. I know a car is different but in theory its the same thing going on.

If you can ride then you will have no problems learning stick. Only thing you might want to do is learn to drive stick and practice a little before making your investment just to make sure you actually like driving stick. For me personally, I learned to drive stick when I was 17 and never owned an automatic car again. To this day, driving an AT frustrates me as it never seems to behave the way I want it to.

Spend the Xtra $ and go A/T,,, I’m only a tad over 300whp & can drift through 3rd w/345’s on the back.
You’ll need both hands on the wheel -not being used to a stick.

If you've never driven a MT, then it doesn't matter what you learn on. A few minutes to get the basics; a few days to smooth it out; a few weeks to get good at it.

I suppose there are a few people that don't have the ability to drive a stick but most people pick it up quickly. Get a friend with a manual to let you try it - if you can't make a smooth start after 10 minutes, you may be one of the few.
