Oh well lets say anyone with a manual licence is welcome to test drive it.
If your not experienced at Manual cars then this one might not be the best one to start with... Heavy clutch 1400Nm of torque + inexperience = Error !!

WHAT????? i thought i was slow to learn first driving manual at 16. dayam I did my test on a manual back in '98, haven't driven one since then until last week when I needed to hire a van. Was feeling a little apprehensive, then bam, it was like I never left, no stalls or bunny hops or crunching or missed gears - must be like riding a bike or something.

Sounds like your ready to progress to something a little less refined.....
Something that might test the limits of your skills a little...

i thought i was slow to learn first driving manual at 16. dayam I first drove a manual car 3 weeks before i went for my licence. Did 5 lesson in a manual coralla over those three weeks and got my manual licence first time. Straight after my test i went home and hopped in my 5spd EF XR6 and drove around for like the next 4 hours lol. Very scary at the start though as i had sh*t all experience in manual and had only driven the XR6 once before. So its never to late too learn manual

This is a properly designed clutch for forced induction. it is built to withstand the huge torque curve that forced induction cars produce. Only problem is i am now able to exceeed the 330rwkw it is rated for. Should also mention it comes matched with a lightened flywheel which makes a big difference in how easily the engine revs up. {USERNAME} wrote: lol i remember on FM1 he had a huge post going...i think he said it was sumthing like $20000 back then for just the engine...sumthing like 60k on the whole car...
Thats about right it was around $70k before this round of mods on engine and stereo so i'd say closer to $80k.
