I bought a pony car missing half the bangers

Didn't say it didn't bother me, but I also don't think it will hard to live with. Of course, the turns on today's course were far from a worst case scenario, too. It gives me some mild annoyance on the street. Give me a couple regular events to see what I really think.

Turn in was really sharp and responsive with good feedback. I spent the past 3 years in the FoST unlearning shuffle steering and not moving my hands on the wheel. In the Camaro, I'd get so far into a turn, find my arms fully crossed and locked while needing another 1/8-1/4 turn of the wheel. Codriver that's been driving an E30 forever (and a recent year in an E46) didn't even notice.

The other thing to keep in mind is that I really, really want to like the car and will probably intentionally overlook anything negative I can for a while.

But I had a good time and am happy enough with the car as it was that it was all good.
