Hi,
I picked up (Leased) a Sport GT 5-speed in Black Mica this weekend from Jeff @ Avante ....Awesome experience !
I have owned five Honda/Acura\'s over the past 16 years (85 Prelude(1st Honda), 97 1.6EL(1st new car), 93 Si Hatch(Road-race car), 90 Accord EXR(beater with 500k), 93 DX Coupe, 2nd Beater) ... so moving to a Mazda was a bit of a jump ... but the lack of affordable and interesting Honda\'s, inflexible financing and higher insurance rates caused me to make the move.
This car is impressing me more and more ... while it is not as quick as my previous road-race civic (nor do I expect to be) it is surprising nimble and quick for such a heavy car ... there is definately some Miata/RX8 DNA involved.
I think I will do some Solo-2 events and perhaps some track days to see how she does. I have a set of 16x7.5 K1\'s in the basement ready to mounted with some 225-50-16 stickies and I suspect a Progress Swaybar may make its way onto the car. It should be fun.
Cheers
Moose
