master cylinder. not that expensive to replace, and easy enough to do
if you follow the procedure in the book. regular replacement of the
brake fluid helps prolong m/c life considerably.

You can enjoy the speed and adrenalin without banging the clutch out and
slipping it at lights. Banging and slipping is incompetence, not enjoyment.

In fact, the quickest driving is done SMOOTHLY, like winning race driver
