You own a 370Z.

What's your point?

I'm sure you have owned more manual cars than I have (2), but I have had about a year's experience working for a Ford dealership driving everything they offered with a stick. The Z and the Ford Ranger rank as the 2 trickiest manuals I have driven, although the Ranger was definitely worse, regarding clutch-feel/lack of torque (we won't even go into shifter throw, lol!).

It is slow, but it gets from point A to point B, and that's all I require for my DD to do. Never intended it to be a fun car.

Indeed, it does seem to have its flaws. Either way, it's paid for and it does what it needs to do.
