    Maybe some day. In the meantime, we have MIVEC.
    Lol.
    I like my work trucks. I could literally sit there and just double clutch in the low side all the way up the gears and they don't stall. Need some throttle on the high range

    A little double clutching the Mirage when it balks at going into gear has been effective for me. I really don't find the shifting an issue and the clutch is so light that frequent gear changing is relatively easy. I borrowed a friend's Boxter last summer and the clutch felt so heavy I had to ask if he'd put in an after market part. Nope, it was stock.

    I like a heavy clutch. But I am also a truck driver
