The Supra is actually tough to stall, though. Somehow I've come close numerous times, like trying to get up rhino ramps, or backing out on a cold start, etc, and all the dash lights will come on, and the rpms will drop to the minimum the tach can show, but somehow, the engine still runs.
guys, im not getting a supra yet, im getting one in december, but the car im gonna get now is a gst eclipse and i want to learn how to drive a 5spd ASAP

Simply let out the clutch very slowly, and then as you feel the car start to move forward slightly, ease onto the gas and keep letting out the cltuch until you feel it engage and drive.
Shifting gears is the easy thing to do. Launching for your first time will be the hard part tho.
whats difficult about launching? and i hope driving a stick is as easy as everyone says it is

Find a friend or family member nice enough to let them teach you. Now if I still had my Camaro I would let you test it out, but the clutch in my Stang would be a bitch to learn on since it is starting to slipp.
Or have your parents go look at cars at a dealership with you let them test drive it , then pull off the lot and switch seats.
