370z hard to drive?

Z34Driver · 06-22-2012, 09:44 AM

While I didn't stall driving it off the lot, I do remember a few things that were strange about the clutch pedal / pedal orientation after first purchasing the car. Every time I would shift, I would accidentally still have my foot on the gas slightly when engaging the clutch. This would cause the engine to rev, like I was trying to blip the throttle to downshift, except this would happen when I was shifting up. Thinking about it now, this probably does have much to do with the orientation of the pedals / and strange clutch release point.

I've never owned a car worthy of the track, at least to me, so I've never really driven in a "Race" environment. So I guess for me, I just adjusted to the car and really haven't had any issues with driving it since the adjustment. I'm sure my size 14's don't hurt though, when it comes to reaching the awkwardly distanced brake, and gas pedals at the same time.
