Not a big fan of the headlights and the original owner loves the hood so will probably be swapping the hood to a stock T2 hood and normal pop up lights.

Have owned several Formula/TA cars over the years but never in a car this light and fun to drive. Looking forward to having fun with her.

She does have the dreaded LS1 tick that goes away when fully warmed up...and hopefully can get that worked out eventually.

Don't think I'd call it a beast with all the much higher HP cars out there but it is certainly fun to drive. It is faster than my 2011 Mustang GT I used to have that had 390whp. The power to weight ratio is nice but the lack of electrical nannies will keep you on your toes.

Early, it was too cold and dreary for me, so I don't know if anyone showed up. Maybe February will be nicer.
