I have no idea why they made the clutch pedal feel so linear... I like heavy clutches, but this isn't heavy, just lifeless...
Fair, I'd like to stick with manuals for as long as possible since I'm pretty sure we will be seeing a lot less of them in the near future.

Pretty sure we are seeing less of MT's now - can only get worse. But I loathe auto's.
re: traction control: With my '13 with the Stillen SC (395 whp) I noticed the traction control kicking in constantly under hard acceleration. With the control disengaged I have found that I modulate the power better with my foot, the car is MUCH faster, with only very controllable wheel spin. Seems the nanny is over protective, and the traction control seems to restrict engine power - you can actually feel the hesitation every time the light comes on.
For those of you who track your cars - Are 0-60 times generally helped or hindered by traction control?
No doubt inexperienced drivers will be safer in all conditions with the switch "on" and all of us are safer with the switch "on" in inclement conditions.
