c5 vette base model as a first manual car, how fucked am I?
I daily'd a motorcycle so I know how manual works, but I've only ever driven manual in emergency type situations ("u-uhh I can kinda drive manual I g-guess") so I've experienced maybe 2 hours of driving a 5spd v6 mustang and a 5spd corolla around. In both those cars I nervously drove them around without learning any feel on them and span the tires everywhere, mostly because the engines in both had zero power so they would easily bog or stall (moreso on the mustang).
Is manual in a torque filled V8 easier than on a shitbox engine?

Go for it, you learn quick if its the only car you drive.
From personal experience driving a c5: It can be a bit notchy going in between gears, and from the factory they are geared really high, so you can stall easy in 1st. However, I still recommend it.
Can't emphasize enough that you WILL learn QUICK and its not that big of a deal.

I learned to drive stick on my c5z. You'll be fine barring your not slow.

I learned stick on a blown Coyote 5.0 Mustang that had 560whp. You'll be fine. Shit was easy and you'll be doing WOT pulls within a week

Get a C4. It'll hurt less when you destroy it.
