I felt that even more so on my brother's S2K (it felt unstallable :P).
Every modern day car should be able to hold up to a few people learning to drive with 3 pedals on it without puking out. You shouldn't have to learn on a beater.

I learned how to drive stick on a Nissan Sentra 04 and a Ford Escort 92 a while ago. This clutch just was different to me (compared to the 350Z and Civic Si that I have driven before, which are a cinch). The third gear when I bought the car was slipping every single time I was shifting up.
