My mate who ran a 9 sec Corvette also has massive respect for your car, a real shame you never got to race each other as you were both hunting that nine at similar times.
Its just the fact your car IS a road car in every way that makes it that much cooler than most things, sadly I expect its quite a well known car by people now so its lost a bit of its stealthness ( if there is such a word lol )
Either way I'll take note and not start doing burnouts for a few hundred yards if I need to warm my tyres up
