I would love to- there wouldn't be too many people that would outrun me- perhaps out-handle in the twisties, but def. not out run in a straightaway

But unless you can convince the Sheriff to put some lights on my car and pay for the gas in my car, I'll just have to stick to running them down in the Impala for the time being..which doesn't take much to out-run I might ad-

Did you put an adjustable master back in the car? Don't know if that will help with a Spec, but it works damn good with my Cartek...Had a Centerforce Dual Friction in mine before and it was stiff as hell....Trust me I know all about sitting in traffic with your knee feeling like its going to blow out...:banghead:

you guys are lucky you have hydraulic clutches. I have a cable in both mustangs. had a centerforce dual friction in the camaro, and it SUCKED. peadal feel was super light though compared to the Centerforce dual friction in the camaro. DF in camaro only lasted about 8 months.

I just ditched my mechanical clutch for the hydraulic setup with the T56. I'll be ordering my SPEC Stage 3+ tonight, too.
