I was curious about this. How does clutching/driving feel with the LWF? I assume that it's one of those things that, once you get used to it, you love it. But what's it feel like initially?
if you try to drive it like you normally do, the car will shudder when you take off from a stop. you have to keep the revs higher as you engage the clutch to get a smooth take-off. the other thing that takes getting used to is the speed at which the revs drop when you press the clutch. the RPM's drop VERY rapidly; you have to shift the gears much more quickly or the RPMs drop too far for the next gear.

once you're used to it, the LWF coupled with a short throw shifter make for a very racy feel; i love it. it transforms the car from a GT personality to a more precise, mechanical feel.
