It may be a very poor description of the issue though.

but is it OK that the sound becomes more... raw above 5000? it just sounds bad, so i tried to stay below most of the time (good thing the car has so much torque).
Clutch is another issue - very high and makes weird noises sometimes when it's depressed.

The gas thing... Every Z has it, and it's not a recall, but a TSB

wheel bearing - is it something serious? i drove 4000 hard KMs with it...

Gas thing - is there an important reason to fix it? it's not really an issue for me, just strange.

thanks
