So a week or two later, I finally get the title and register the car in AZ. I took it out to the canyons (Canyon Lake Rt88 for all you Arizonian's) and started to learn the good the bad and the ugly. To be honest, even on the Ray's with Continental Sport this car rotates extremely well in 15 to 20 mph corners, the brakes did start to fade but that was after 20 minutes or so of pretty heavy usage. The big surprise of the day is when the clutch pedal went to the floor and didn't come back. I pulled over, opened the hood and started forum searching, and within 20 minutes or so I started to get pedal feel again. After 30 or so minutes, all was well. So, I need to figure that out for sure, this thing runs hot as hell. All in all, I've had a few Miata's, a Focus RS, C6 Z06 and this thing is as fun as any of them. I can see with the right suspension mods, tire setup, brakes and power, this will be a serious canyon carver. Also didn't hate the rev-matching, but it does reduce engine braking big-time, think I prefer engine breaking and a little less rev-match if possible. I've been tortured by Z's in AutoCross for years, and I'm super stoked that I made the purchase!
