Cup steel synchros used in the 7gt3 have something to do with it afaik. With more mileage it's supposed to get better (although mine seems to have got a bit more sticky compared to when it was new, 5-6k miles now compared to 1-2k when I first got the car a few years ago)

I haven't driven it in the dry yet but in the wet and cold it's hands down my favorite street car ever!

serious stable you have sir - I commend you (and yes, am a bit jealous too)!
