This is my first sports car but damn it's fun. Rewarding to drive and never have a dull moment. Although if you shift poorly or mistime even a slight bit it will be a very jerky ride.
I went on my first road trip last weekend. Three hours in the car, one way, and I was still fine. My wife never asked to stop, which is a very good sign.

I finaly, mostly figured out that shifting thing. It is a notoriously difficult clutch for which there are a couple of suggested fixes. Low RPM shifts, less than 4.5K RPM don't like to be hurried, like a one thousand one count for going between gears. That's the 1->2, 2->3. The rest are much easier. The hard part is figuring out how to get going in first. More helps.

The fixes ...

Clutch Helper Spring

and

RJM Clutch Pedal System for 370Z - Fully Customizable Clutch Feel & Stroke

I have done neither because I have pretty much figured it out. If my wife were going to drive the car ever, I might buy the RJM replacement pedal.
