Thumbs up First time Z owner- Questions

I just took delivery of my new 04 6-speed 350Z Touring model. Added some Nismo items..have a look.
Although I love my car, this sounds kind of stupid, but I've tried to spin my wheels for fun and I am having trouble, as if there is some hesitation in first and second gear. any comments??

It took me several hundred mile to really get used to the clutch. I liked the feel and throw of the clutch on my e36 a little better, but maybe just becasuse i was used to it.

Don't do it yet, you need to break in the car first (1200 miles)
As for spinning the tires, turn your TCS and VDC off.
