Perma-grin

Mid-to-low 4 second times 0-60 sound great to me. And the incredible thrust that should be available from 60-80 and beyond is also exciting. (I just spent some track time in a Steeda Mustang Cobra, so torque and acceleration are on my mind right now.)

But what really excites me about this car is the combination of power, relatively low weight and handling prowess. Can't wait to hit a twisty road in it.

It should:
  1. turn in smartly
  2. take power early
  3. come off the corner like a little rocket
  4. blast down the straight
  5. slow easily
  6. Repeat steps 1-5 until you're worn out from grinning.
