Haha. I wish I was google, hell I can't even afford their stock right now.
But really if you are looking for a snappy little machine you should look into these guy, reminds me of our favorite cars, handles well, does what you need, and kind of under powered.

Just wondering, on a healthy clutch, how much do you need to release the pedal before it "bites"? About how much of the pedal travel is "useful"?

Grab point varies on the vehicle or who installed the clutch. When I put my clutch in I set the grab point reaaaaally low, like an inch and a half from the bottom.

I drove this car that "bit" maybe like 1.5 inches from the top of the pedal stroke, and smooth starts were f***ing impossible. |

Well I'm unsure how far it can be adjusted but originally my clutch would grab around 2.5" from the floor and there's a bolt you can adjust by the firewall that changes the engagement point. And by grab point I meant the point where you feel the engine bog (so the moment it starts to grab). Quote:

The first thing of driving a manual car is to find its grab point of the clutch. Once you get there, you can adjust your left foot for the smooth transition. I would think this is more or less a personal preference thing. Some people prefer low grab point while others don't. I personally do not favor one or the other, as long as I know where the grab point is for this car, I am ok.
