I never had problems with MT cars, I stalled about 10 times in my life and 9 of them were on my first driving lesson and once when my foot slipped cuz of ice and slammed the clutch pedal up.

Yes I know that my Z is a AT if I could I would of gotten a MT but these days I don't mind it.

or maybe I am just getting corrupted.

the MT cars I have driven

renault clio 1.6 diesel
renault megane coupe 2009 1.9 diesel
renault megane CC 2.0 petrol
Renault master 3.2(not sure that is what my father always said) diesel
renault laguna 2.0 diesel
peugeot expert 2.0 diesel
BMW 320 diesel
BMW 325 petrol
Lotus elise
370Z roadster MT some laps on francorchamps and test drive

I OWNED the clio and megane coupe.

megane CC and laguna are my parents cars when the GT-R is in the garage for the winter

The master and peugeot are work cars

rest was borrowing from friends

I still find it funny that I went from a 1.9 4 cilinder diesel to a 3.7 V6 petrol

look it this guy? lol all proud of himself... haha

Fun driving, 6-7k

Downshifting on the highway to pass with style (I don't know, but it's f*cking fun).

To reach supersaiyan, I recommend shifting at OVER 9000!

HAHAHA!!! i love this guy!!! supersaiyan!!! hahaha over 9000!!!

All cars are different. Mine felt funny for about the first couple dozen shifts that I made and then I quickly adapted to it and never have had an issue.
I've been driving MT's since 1968 and learned the individual characteristics of each car in a matter of a few miles. Turn off your phone and stereo and listen to your car. Get in touch with it, feel how the different components interact and if you have at least normal hand/leg coordination it won't be a problem.
My only beef is the delay in the rev's dropping between 1st and 2nd caused by the heavy flywheel inertia. I can't shift as quickly as I'd like but it's not a big deal.
