Default Bump starting

I was having dinner with a forum celebrity recently and we discussed the ability of the Z to be "bump started" or "compression started" with a M6 Z and a dead (low volt) battery. Neither of us has tried it in a 370Z, just other older cars.

I feel that releasing the clutch will stop the starting process.

Has anyone tried this or know the answer? Thanks
