Me too although, based on the numbers, I would likely only get one run and then asked to leave since I am not equipped with a parachute. I do have some friends with a place to run. They haven’t been going lately, but plan to get together with them at some point and cook some blacktop. For now, I must remain content letting the twin screw supercharger scare dogs and small children in my otherwise quiet neighborhood.

Just picked up a Mini Cooper S Coupe to drive until I get my next fun car and it's an absolute blast! Especially with the manual tranny. Way more fun than our Hellcat.

I don’t understand. Your F-Type didn’t come with a drogue parachute as standard equipment?
