Bob,
Congratulations on this great decision. Three words of advice from a very happy SPF driver.
1. Decide what you want the car for before you get into choice of engines and add-on goodies.
2. Drive the cars they've got and see how YOU like them. The weather should be about perfect here, but the roads may still be a bit cool for best adhesion. Be careful.
3. For engine, if you're having someone else do it, I highly recommend Eric at Performance Engineering, located behind the Dynamic building. There's friction between the ownership of Dynamic and Performance, but the folks in the shop actually continue to work well together (much to the relief of many SPF owners here and elsewhere) and Eric's done well by me and many others over the past years.
Enjoy our fake-out Spring this week...
