just an opinion....
after swapping a very nicely built 700 R4 for a 4 speed and having both fresh in my mind, i can honestly say that there is absolutely no comparison if your preference leans towards pure and raw transfer of power.
that is all....

I couldn't agree more. My swap to a 4 speed was well worth the headache. I can finally feel the power of the engine. Bad thing is......now I want more power. More power = more money.

Anytime anybody asks me about my corvette, they always ask if it's a 4 speed. When I say yes, they just nod their head in agreement.
It's the only way to drive.
I must admit, when I switch to a newer car with a hydraulic clutch, I darn near push the thing into the floor.

Aside from the website, http://www.kcimotorsportspark.com I don't know anyone with too much information. When it was announced all the local new sources thought it was a great idea and have never spoke of it since. I know that they have already started selling memberships. Personally, I can't frickin' wait. I bought a DSLR earlier this year and can't wait to go take pics there.

I drove my buddy's C6 this weekend and I hated the clutch feel. I think I could mash that thing with my pinky toe if I had to.
It felt too much like a honda.
