I'm happy to hear that y'all went with the ABP! (I should email Aaron and ask for a commission at this point! HA!).
My demo drive was in what would actually become my car after. I had been speaking with Andrew at Rush of Central Texas for a while to schedule my drive and he had mentioned that they would have a used car for sale soon. I found out that at my demo drive the car I would be driving was the one that was going to be sold.
The demo was at MSR Cresson ( I live roughly between Houston and Austin) on the 3.1 circuit. I was prepared for the 1.7 and felt relatively confident despite being out of a racecar for 10 years and this being my first time on a real road course, but the other half that made it the 3.1 was an entirely different animal. Super tight turns, incredible elevation changes, blind uphill corners, and even getting airborne every lap where the two circuits join on the straight. It was both terrifying and exhilarating, but also just a lot of track when getting your feet wet in a new discipline and car. The car is way more capable than I am until I have more seat time, incredibly fast, I definitely understand why the SRX is considered the "pro model".
After the drive, we made an agreement to purchase the car and they have been prepping it for me to pick up. All in all, I will be getting more of a refurbished car than a truly used one. Fresh bodywork, new seat, cleaned up, fresh tires, etc. I'm also having them install the trident and Holley hydramat.
Shawn, I saw that you mentioned you are in Florida, you should be able to call your nearest dealer and work on scheduling a demo around home rather than coming all the way to Texas.
