Wow thats a beautiful car, congrats on the purchase. I'd imagine insurance is gonna be brutal. Buying a manual is the best way to learn IMO. Again congrats on the new car, and what kind of work do you do?

Did those wheels come on it or did you already swap them out.
dick ride. Get the stick now. I'm sure someone closer will let you learn on their stick, um I mean 5 speed.

The trick is to get the revs up to around 5000 or so then immediately let out the clutch.
I hear that works really well.
(I am not responsible for any tire, clutch, or ego damage that may occur)
Keep practicing dude, it just takes time. soon it'll be like buttah.

Nope, just your clutch, difs, driveshafts and tires.
