Ordered my Baby Boss a little more than a week ago. Black/black, track package (manual, Brembos, 3.73s Torsen, suspension and cooling).
It's been 21 years since I traded my old turbo Capri, and the practicalites of family life have been eating me alive since then. The days of practicing heal-toe, trail braking, and RPM matching in a Ranger pickup waiting for "some day" are no more. How did I end up driving pickups for so long? Not sure if I've truly gotten to the "can afford it now" part of my life, but I've definitely gotten to the "can't wait any longer part".
I haven't shifted gears but once in the last 10 years. I'm expecting that I pick it back up by like riding a bicycle. The plan is for a daily driver and light mods only (lowered, exhaust, cold air intake). I'll do a few semi-competive events to stretch her legs, (drag, track days, auto-x). It should give me the chance to have some competitive tastes before, I figure what happens long term.
