I find the Z has a tough clutch (yes i know there are tougher out there, my friend's custom supra clutch is murder...) compared to my previous car, the polo gti and that had a tougher clutch than the average everyday car. From this perspective i'd imagine learning to use a manual on the z would be a sobering experiance. Not impossible but more unpleasant than it should be.

Remember however that once you get good at the z clutch, the normal cars out there become extremely easy.
Other than some of the specialty rentals that have exotic cars, what rental car agencies have a good supply of manual transmission vehicles?
