I am pretty sure the 4BW has hill hold assist like my 5BW 6sp. You will have no problem on hills.
And manual. Manual. MANUAL! End of discussion.
In all seriousness, the 4BW manual has better gearing than the tall 5BW gears. The Tremecs are such a pleasure to use in all situations. I...
I think those tips look awesome! Really looking forward to pricing and availability. I hope they make a Sport version because I'm not sure I want an Xtreme.
Might want to measure from the center cap to the top of the fender lip, post your measurements, and us nerds can measure our stock cars and see if they match.

Did nearly 300 miles on a round trip today. Some pretty empty country roads. Lots of unmentionable fun. What an absolutely superb car in every single way.

Now if we could only get just a little bit of blower whine...
The reason I suggested lugging was because your description of the car jerking reminds me of times when I have accidentally driven a car (or motorcycle) at low enough revs to where it is bucking a little. The fact that it only happens in 2nd is curious. Are we sure it doesn't act like that at...
