"snatchy" ... hmmm, a good choice of word. It is a bit at low speeds. I've always put it down to the price you pay for that sense of urgency that it exudes when you accelerate off the line. Maybe addressing that "snatchyness" would dampen that responsiveness.

Thats my 2p. What do you think Tracker?
