Shoulda got a GT500

I don't know how many of you are familiar with my side of town, but going northbound on capital, the entry ramp for going west on 540 is ridiculous. I'd actually never even taken that ramp before because I'm usually going south on Capital towards 540, but when I did the test drive he told me to take it... wow. I took it fast and the BMW just gripped ridiculously. I was hesitant because I would have never driven a Mustang that hard on the ramp or the back end would have been in the railing. The feel of the g-forces pushing on you was insane, and the sport seats keep you firmly planted very well. It's a whole different experience and it's certainly a fun one.
I'll have to give you guys a ride once I get it. It's not got the raw V8 torque that throws you back, but it just never wants to stop accelerating. It's certainly not slow at all. It's actually kind of a nice mix. 450 RWHP really is too much for the road no matter how you look at it. When I drove the Cobra I could only ever wind out two gears before I had to slow down, and then that was it. The GT on the other hand I can run full throttle all the time and still be going slow. This car sits on the high side of the middle of the two and feels much more practical, not to mention the luxury you have.
As bad as it was to sell the Cobra and watch it drive away, it's worse waiting to get my 335. And like I said, I'll be building my classic, so I'll still have something for raw horsepower fun.

Double the price of the Termi and not much faster? Nah. I want the luxury of a BMW in my DD.

RE: NC car meet?
I stole a picture from someone to make a new sig. It's not my car (I don't know whose it is, just the photobucket account, hopefully he doesn't mind me using it, I'm not claiming it to be mine), but it's nearly exactly what mine will look like. Black, coupe, same wheels, aero front lip, only thing he's missing is the blacked out grill.
