driving the manual camaro
So, i only have a bout 5 months experience of driving a stick, and this was about 2 years ago on an early 90's chevy work truck... for those that have driven this clutch .. how easy or hard is it at the beginning to get used to ?

Should be pretty easy. I had a guy drive the SS who hadn't driven a stick for years and he picked it right up.
Both engines make good torque which helps.

Just get the stick. Go out and cruise for two hours and you'll be a pro by the time you get home.

Its funny because I was going to ask the SAME question today! I have only drove stick ONCE, on a kid's 2006 GTO... will it be similiar to that? I didn't stall out when using it, the torque pull when releasing the clutch helped! I think I will have to get into the habit, which I do when driving now, "practicing" hitting the clutch when I use the brake or when I think I would shift gears.
