I love my Alfa Romeo 4C. :wub:

Unique and still plenty quick for an 8 year old car. Behaves like a vintage turbocharged exotic (think Ferrari F40) -- a bit of turbo lag, but with no power steering...

Replaced the FR-S w/ the ACT with a newer BRZ. Then replaced the BRZ. :lol:

It's the clutch.

I had 1st gear lockout issues with my ACT clutch -- same symptoms once the car was slightly warmed up. Never solved the issue.

In stock form, it is a flawed car at the limit.

Interesting, the green car icon doesn't blink on my Series.Yellow BRZ, but the feature still works on steeper hills.

I wonder if there's a difference between Toyota and Subaru in that regard.
