Not always, but symptom is like not matching revs with clutch release? 2007 Gt.

73k kms well maintained, new owner less than 5kms, too lean, bad gas, not high enough octane (using 89)

Always best to start with the basics n see how it plays out. While the mfgs are suggesting extended plug service life, all too often service suggested above solves the issue. It's also a good idea to change plugs sooner vs later just to be sure they are actually gonna come out of the head.
Any mods?

I don’t know if plugs were ever changed from previous owner, but I suspect not because of extended plug life.

Only so called engine mod that I know is that a rousch cai installed but with the sleeve so as not to require additional tune.

As said, only started recently after new suspension mods( mm cc plates , koni adj. ) and alignment done

The symptom is like I’m a rookie learning to handle a 5 speed ....
