Thanks for the tips and praise, everyone. I really can't believe how awesome of a car this is for the price. It's a 7AT, but I can't complain in the least. I bought it on ebay and flew up to Ohio a few days later for only $200. The owner of the dealership picked me up from the airport and said it had been sitting on the lot since 2010. The salesman he turned me over to looked like he wanted to punch me in the face, ha!
I drove it from Dayton to Atlanta overnight. Doing 80 to 110mph through the Tennessee mountains at midnight was driving nirvana. I almost never took it over 4k RPMs, yet it was still such a thrill. It's amazing how fast this thing can take a downhill turn without losing the slightest bit of grip. I can't wait to get it broken in and really be blown away.
