I am surprised that I slept as well as usual last night. The truck is not here yet though and my attempts to nap have failed.

I intend to be very very careful with it. My current autocross car is a 1250# Lotus with 250 hp and a flat torque curve. It approaches the power to weight ratio of the Cobra but does not match it. It will pretty much spin the wheels on any turn at any speed so I have some experience with traction limited by the throttle.

I'll run it hard on the track but will drive like a Grandpa on the street.
