Ok, I know the article was for the roadster, but since I'm still deciding between a 7AT vs. 6MT coupe and since the transmission I'm sure is the same in both cars, can someone tell me:

1. So what is so troublesome with the 6MT- Difficult to drive smooth? Haven't really heard about any mechanical issues with it though.

2. Is the clutch really that heavy?

1. nothing is wrong

2. no

What the hells that mean Heavy Clutch, they suit the personality of the Z-car. Are they saying manual drivers are cavemen or what?

The 370 has possably the lightest clutch ive ever drove in a sports car, when I first test drove the mt I jumped from mt wifes mustang GT to the Z and damm near put the pedal thru the floor.
