Need some advice?!

When I bought my 350z in 08 it was the first manual tranny I had owned. I had driven a few manuals before this, but never for an extended period of time. I was a little sketchy on the test drive & drive home, but I wouldn't say unsafe. And I was really happy I went manny instead of auto. For me it was a lot more fun. And I dont even want to drive an auto now, at least not in a car on the sporty side. I went with the 6 speed 370z recently and I am loving life. Downshifting has become addicting, lol.
in my opinion I would get the manny and baby her until you get more comfortable. Worst thing that happens is you stall it periodically, and maybe burn a little clutch. Or trash the clutch and flywheel, which are replaceable. Hope this helps. And enjoy what ever decision you make and don't let people rag on you for what you decide. It is still a Z at the end of the day, and dead sexy.
