It is SOOOOOO different driving those cars over the Z! The technology then was great for the time, but the steering was "relaxed", the brakes were a handful, the gearing was such that they would rev at about 4k at 60 mph. I loved the experiences of driving each of those cars though...

I included some modern stuff that we took over there as well. His 2006 Aston Martin Vantage and his 2013 458 Spider. I have driven the Aston and it is an awesome GT car. The 458 is still on the list to go for a ride in soon. I doubt I will ever drive that one.

Completely off topic and falling within the realm of totally useless information related to the all powerful OZ. Patricia mentioned something to me after the past MD meet about how the after market Z emblem some folks are rocking looks just like the OZ symbol from the original L. Frank Baum series of books.

I had to go check and sure enough they are very similar. Specifically, when you look at many of the illustrations that accompanied the series of books, particularly, "Ozma of OZ" and others, you'll see the familiar to us Z symbol.

Here is the front emblem:


Here are the L. Frank Baum OZ book illustrations:

Yes. The stupid spring that makes the clutch easy to press but removes all feedback.

Read: Clutch pedal too soft/no feel? Remove the helper spring!

It's so easy, a caveman could do it.

Couldn't agree more.

I removed the entire assembly and the clutch feel SIGNIFICANTLY improved. It feels exactly like my Honda Civic Si now. You can feel pressure from the pressure plate - it gets rid of that annoying stutter/shaking when you let the clutch out too fast. It even eliminates clutch chatter now since you know exactly where the engagement point is.

It takes all of 3 minutes to do, just need needle nose pliers and a flat head screwdriver.
