i have never known of a manual tranny car that won't buck for a novice or even occasionally for the rest of us too.

I learned on my dad's '66 Vette. You can almost dump the clutch at idle and not stall it. It was a good car for confidence building because it was nearly impossible to stall it, but it wasn't until I drove his then-new LeBaron GTS and its sloppy 5 speed that I really "learned" how to drive a standard.
