I'm about to let a family friend (17 yo) learn how to drive manual on my Z once it gets back from the shop. I am waiting to install the Stage 2 clutch kit and leaving in the stock clutch (100K miles on it) for him to practice with. We will be on a closed course and in parking lots for safety.
You sir....are a BRAVE man
Does this 17yo have ANY experience driving a manual or will yours be their first? I have always felt the Z is one of those cars that isn't a friendly standard comparing it to the Hondas and VWs that I have driven. I tried to teach my niece how to drive standard on my MK6 - after she got frustrated with trying to get used to first and when to give gas and when to feather the clutch; i think after that day - she decided to stick with autos (sad day for me) haha.
old guy and MZ DAIZY like this.

My Vette is a great car to teach someone to drive stick.
776 wheel with 767 torque. You can dump the clutch at idle
and it will pull away like a John Deer tractor. LOL
