Trust me, by the time you get to 1200-1400 miles, it will feel like more car than you bought. That's partly comfort level with the car, but the other piece is the motor opening up.

I'm really excited now! lol We have this small strip of road with some mildly banked winding turns right next to a canal (with a very large and strong guard-rail lol) and I've run down that a few times whilst giving it about 95% throttle (I'm kind of conservative) and man the car handles really well, it hugs the shit out of the banked turn too. I actually feel the car SINK into the turn which inspires a lot of confidence and provokes me to give it more gas into the turn.
I'm also new to RWD vehicles, so I need to learn how to handle it a bit...we don't have a lot of options down here for tracks and such, or at least none that I know of.
I want to get some good performance driving lessons under my belt. I'll be 30 next year, sounds like a good gift for me. lol
