I really don't want a heavy clutch pedal though. In LA traffic a heavy clutch pedal sucks.
My buddy had an Audi S4 and I was surprised at how butter smooth and easy that clutch was on an AWD V8 performance car. I liked the idea that the 2011 GT's clutch pedal feel was like that.
I suspect the vast majority of cars built post 4/26 will be just fine with the stock rpm limit. I suspect I just got the bad end of tolerances.

I also suspect the cars built pre-4/26 that were on hold were checked for this and some of them got the updated clutch assembly. Note that Lethal Performance's car didnt start having the issue until the limit was raised.

However when people start bumping the limiter higher I suspect more cars will have an issue.
