Reply to "My journey"

This is the car I cut my teeth on, I do have a bit of mid-engined experience, AND, I've spun around in this car on turn 2 at Sears Point on cold tires-one very scary moment. T-2 at Sears is an uphill, right handed, totally blind turn, so I had maybe 40 other cars coming into view (with me pointed backwards) all swerving to miss me! That spin happened so fast I was "both pedals In" before the car was even hald way around, no time to even countersteer.

Roger didn't hold back on our test drive, and what I noticed was the car was super neutral when sideways, like VERY controllable, I was impressed, and the car struck me as pretty darn dialed in.

My plan is to just drive and enjoy the car. I have 4 drives on the car so far (one tankful of gas worth) and nothing but thumbs-up, "hey! Cool Car!" people asking me about the car wherever I stop, I'm LOVING it! This has been my dream car since I was maybe 13.

I plan to just drive and enjoy the car, clean things up, and the only real mod I plan for the future is a full roll cage that ties every corner of the car together, not just the cabin. I want to stiffen the whole car up with a complete endoskeleton, so no more little stress cracks, no creaking pulling out of parking lots, then, later, when I have the money, I plan to put a concourse, show-car paint job, redo the interior, and take the car to the next level of awesomeness.
