Honestly, I can't get over all the time and effort they put into the "feel" for this machine and nobody bitched about the clutch? I'd like to meet the responsibles just so I could wag my finger and shame them.

Next on my list are engine mounts and such to get rid of the first gear boinga-boinga-boinga... It's a sports car FFS! Talk about grenading stuff, the wheel hop scares the shit out of me.
