Weight the car at a truck stop or dragstrip. The car might feel heavy because it is heavy.

Go to the dragstrip and practice. Put the damn peddle to the floor will ya.

Do you hold the clutch for a while after u step on the gas pedal?
or you step on the gas pedal and release the clutch immediately?

New 350Z drivers can be a bit intimidated with first gear on the street: the rear end can get crazy. Practice releasing the clutch and stepping on the gas at the same time. You don't have to do a tire burning start at every light. Once you get your confidence up, punching the gas will be less scary.

Also, try doing a few hard runs, the cars seems to respond better after.
