Yeah the cruise switch on the clutch pedal can be a bit sticky, kick the pedal up it seams to be a common issue on all 75/ZT's.

Echoing Peter there, must be an issue or something? As when i took my 190 to Germany, maxing it out certainly no Meganes and such were passing! And drfinalty when maxing out the V8 it was no slouch getting upto the top speed.

Not sure about what you mean with the scrapped cars though, certainly nothing to "get used to" thats for sure, least i sincerley hope not!
