Well the car was all he said it was and more. As soon as Bill gets the minor things taken care of I will get it. And I am going to have to learn to drive it. The steering is really close and just a twitch of the wheel and you are off the road. He said he got 14 miles per gallon an the way up and it is scary fast. I was in 4th and just easing into it and looked and was over 100. Tony said he had it up to just over 140 once and it was still pulling well. Lots to get used to. The very short shifter makes for harder shifts than I am used to and the steering I have to get accustomed to. Also I want the clutch checked as it seems to catch to far to the top. But the car is just really nice, hardly a rock pick anywhere. It will be a real learning experience for me and I won't even think about taking anyone for a ride until I have had a few weeks to get used to the cars quirks. All kinds of extras too. Alarm system, full built in roll cage, top end fire suppression system, remote door opening, and noisy. I have to get used to the TEC 3 computer as when you back off fast it sounds as if it is popping through the exhausts and he said that is the computer putting an extra spark out to burn any fuel that may have not burned when I decelerated quickly as that stops it from getting down into the exhaust system and then pipes.
