Well, the 3500 mile mark has come, and on the whole i am disappointed. THe cltuch, despite absolutley zero dumps, grabs high, 2nd and 3rd grind sometimes, and 3rd is alwasy notchy, and its just not fast. I made the mistake of being blinded by good handling and rarity, but my first instinct was corvette, and thats where i am going the second i get the chance. The vette will smoke it on the track and give it a good run or beat it in the twisties, and believe me, i have driven both now. Taking offers on an 02' with 3500 and minimal VTEC's. Damn, last time ill make this mistake. Mike

True enough, this car's not for everybody. Sorry it didn't pan out for you. At least you can expect a fairly good resale value...

Good point for Thrillr to consider: Selling your '02 Spa should give you just about enough money to purchase one '98 Vette and one '00 Mustang. That'll purdy well slam-up Mike's garage with all the V8 muscle he should want.

Best of luck on the tracks.

I always hate it when I'm blinded by good handling. Never fails, I regret it the next morning. Hate it when I'm blinded by a really great price too...
