I wanted a Firestorm Red M/T, my wife wanted a Raven A/T. We couldn't find either anywhere in Raleigh the day we decided to pick it up, so the Fred Anderson dealer said he had both being delivered in 3 days and we could come reserve either. We got there and the Raven MT with 15 miles was sitting on the showroom floor with borla catback, tint, bespoke headunit, paint protection, toyoguard elite and he tossed in a few additions (lojack, free 1-day car rental for every service at the dealership etc.) so we both compromised. The plan was to drive the wheels off it for a year before deciding if it would be a race car or not.
Took it to Road Atlanta 6 days after buying it and loved it. We drove through the NC and TN mountains. We did a 7hr 15min bull run from Raleigh to New York. Covered 3000 miles in a 10 day trip from Raleigh - Charleston - Savannah - Gainesville - DisneyWorld - Miami - Key West - Tampa - Atlanta - Raleigh. And just before our Route66 trip, we found out my wife was pregnant so that was the end of the fun and games... racecar time.
Here are some random road trip pics, autox, and track pics.
Straight to the track at 987 miles.
This was probably my favorite trip. Here's the

Carries race tires, and race bikes very well.
