Wow, y'all must be bored. Spring's not far away guys, I promise LOL
Anyhow, Bob, My red car has a Fidanzza, and before she ate her TOB, it was a lot of fun and DD. I really didn't have any problem, other than you have to be quicker on your clutch release in order to avoid a stall. Upshifts were no problem(other than the cable shifter) and downshifting is a breeze(but then I'm a truck driver, so blipping the throttle to downshift is almost automatic).
I say go for it. And for what it's worth, the red car was the first SHO I'd ever driven, so it has colored my perceptions of the motor LOL
Cool man, I appreciate the input! I was more interested in hearing personal preference on it from people who have tried them out than a lesson or debate on the laws of physics. No offense intended.
Thanks to all!
