CT4 BW to Dark Horse?

- you could start the car with just the clutch depressed
I'm pretty sure this is a regulation now. All modern manuals have to require the brake pedal. The Bullit and earlier Mustangs might have got around this but I don't think this is a thing anymore, its a safety regulation.

If anyone has driven a new S650 you can chime in, but I'm under the impression brake and clutch is a requirement now for manual vehicles sold new today.

I can confirm you can start with just pressing the clutch
 
With all the electronic nannies in place, it boggles my mind why we can't start ours without both pedals. Lord knows the computer knows the Ebrake is engaged, in N, etc. Take me back to the time the owners manual gave instructions on valve adjustment.
 
Interesting Ford still does it this way and every other modern manual I've ever driven requires the brake to be depressed.
