I was looking at an auto during my Z search, and someone on here commented "Friends don't let friends drive auto"... great advice imo. Honestly my Z with the RPS MaxStreet clutch in it is one of the most difficult manual cars I've ever driven, but once you get used to it, it's like a special bond you have with your car...watching your buddies stall out when they first try after you made it look easy is priceless.
