Exactly.. I had to break myself of the habit of always coasting to a stop in neutral which I did when I had my Explorer Sport. At highway speeds the SRM gets really agitated

Also, I'm not sure about the so-called linear feel... my friend's 2003 Mustang Cobra clutch was linear. The Z isn't even close - we both drove each other's cars. Driving his car in traffic for more than 15 min was literally a left leg workout that would leave you sore. He recently replaced the clutch with aftermarket and it is much more similar to the Z now. I agree with MJB...
