It grabs like a hobo on a ham sandwich.  But multitude 6,000 rpm drops don't
seem to bother it, either...

Hilarious.  Well said Gary, well said.  

Now that it's broken in and I've adapted my driving style to suit it's
differing needs, it's an awesome feeling.  It's actually grown rather fun
'throwing the revs' at it (the clutch) for getting the car out of 1st...
whether for launches or just normal trolling around town.  The LWFW does
require a bit of that (throwing the revs) anyway to keep the sucka from
bogging a bit.  

Again, I find it verrrrrrrry entertaining.  But I *am* looney, so others may
have differing (more sane?) thoughts on the matter...

And again Serge, you're welcomed and encouraged to flog mine for a few miles
and then decide.  Only SPEC issue other than the feel is like you said, the
company now has a disturbingly and increasingly growing un-credible track
record (a fact also feel good about saying publicly, they deserve the slams)
with regard to providing the right product the 1st time around.  All
affected eventually ended up OK in the end, but there was unfun oggedda
associated in doing so and their credibility has suffered.

But like Gary said...  the mutha f'er GRABS.  Diggin the feel, especially
during power-on upshifts.  Amazing sensation, like blasting off.

YMcan and willV.
