Angry Help me drive stick!

I just wanted to know if any of you 6sp. 350z owners have any tips to drive stick. I dont know how it will feel on the road. and how would i start when racing someone etc. Any helpful advice would be great. Thanx.

if you can't/haven't driven a stick before - forgetting about racing anyone for a while...

i've found the best to learn/teach someone stick is by practicing on an incline (slightly sloping hill, parking garage deck, etc). face the car uphill with the with the clutch in and the car in first gear, *slowly* let the clutch out untill the car catches the gear, it will stop rolling backwards - you found the point where you can apply the gas.

hope that helps, good luck.

This guy totally contradicts himself, OWNED!

He states he bought a Z on 7-08-2005, then asks what to buy on 7-26-05!


PWNED!

https://my350z.com/forum/street/131425-what-have-you-guys-raced.html He supposedly bought it a week before this post on 7-08-05

and here, https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/131237-what-do-i-have-to-do-to-keep-up-with-an-sti.html

says he wants to buy a 03 Track on 7-07-05, Hey I thought you already bought an 05? "hey im thikin that im going to buy an 03 track 350Z and i was wondering was the leather that important that i should go with the touring with leather instead of the track becasue the track has cloth. This is a huge decision i just wanted your opinions."

https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=131237

Then on 7-09, he debates on what color to get!

What a TOOL! Do you even have your drivers license, let alone own a Z, KID?

ya i'm goin along with him pratice in a different car performance cars are usually harder to learn on too. but i would say that going into first just normal driving try to use the lowest rmp possible in order to get going and let off the clutch as fast as u can but stil keep it smooth after first its all just clutch shift unclutch and also don't ride the clutch either if u r coasting or at a red light just put it in nutral and when not shifting don't rest ur foot on the clutch.. my friend has a 96 mustang gt 5spd and he is the worst driver ive ever seen when he backs up he revs it up to at lest 4 grand and wow hes had it for about a year and has gone through 2 clutches already.. but ya just take it easy practice and you will get better
good luck

So I'm the bad guy, huh? What does age have to do with it?

BTW, I guess having 17 years Law Enforcement paid off!

Do me a favor, never cheat on your girlfriend, you'll never get away with it!

So what college grade are you in?
