I think I dis-agree with this. The point between which the clutch starts ingaging and is fully engaged, etc... can make a huge difference on how difficult it is and easy to stall if you are not used to it being like that.

See on my 370z if I let out the clutch slowly (at the grab point) I have no problem getting the car going (nice and slow) without giving it any gas at all (just letting off the clutch). The idle RPM is more than enough to get it going in reverse and forward. I typically don't give it any gas when backing out of my garage, parking lot at work, really bad stop/go traffic. etc...

I have driven Z's (mainly just 350z's) where the clutch was like digital. There is no way you could get it going without stalling it if you didn't give it gas. IMHO those Z's were pretty easy to stall and harder to drive than normal. My 370Z is not like this so I don't really consider my 370z to be hard to drive but I can imagine some 370z's are like the 350z I test drove that literally seemed to have a 'digital' clutch. The 'digital' clutch is a term me and my dad made after test driving that car.
