My mistake was deciding to get my G and learning to drive manual after. I had very little experiences in the past driving stick cars like the TC and RSX but this car is extremely different and compared to those very hard too.

But i got everything down now except when it comes to taking off fast
i tried to take on my cuzins 335i auto and was left behind 2 cars

Try to go into a no traffic neighborhood that has a hill and keep practicing on that hill.. that's what I did then I got use to it after 2-3 days practicing on that hill. I would start off on the kill go up to the top then let the car roll down itself then repeat the process until I felt like I got the hang of it... then after that I would drive like I was in a movie shoot for fast and the furious and go 65+ in a 40 mph road outside my neighborhood lol. That road is very, very, very hard not to speed on.. so much twisties, turns and straightaways.

Try not to shift over 5k rpms for the break-in process until 1,000 miles.

Practice is the only thing that will help you. Go to a deserted road or to the track. Or just try it at every stop light that you come to. Just make sure there are no cops around or they will ticket you for "exhibition of acceleration". You cant do that in a heavy traffic area either.
