How driveable is the car in traffic & every day?


 


October 22 2007 - How driveable is the car in traffic & every day?
I've now done almost 400 miles in the car and i feel i can give a good report on its driveability.  I have now mastered clutch control, i very much lever my feed off the floor using a good racing boot - this way i get the precision control needed.  A driver jumping out of a road car will stall the busa a lot - but i now don't.  Yesterday i drove about 10 miles, in traffic, stops and starts, U-turns, etc... and didn't stall once.  Is it infuriating?  No, but it does require a fair amount of concentration for hill starts.  Traffic crawling is OK, and can be done gently on tickover.
