I love the stance of that car - it's sitting at a lovely ride height. I believe this is your first mid year car, so tell us about "stock" 2.7 power . Is it going to be adequate for you?
Thanks Matt! I might make a trip up Nort in the new car...if so we'll be sure to stop by and say hey. It's not exactly quiet, so I'm not sure how easily we'll be able to handle five hours in it. But we'll probably try at least once.

The power in this car is perfectly fine for me. You know I'm not a power monger, but even so there's plenty of power to give a nice rush! These cars are not that much heavier than the early cars, so they don't need a lot of power to have fun.

Pat did a great job with the car...made a lot of decisions I completely agree with, like the ride height you mentioned. Nice and low, but not too low. The car has a nice firm ride, but not too jarring, so very livable. I'm seeing a lot of time behind the wheel this year.
