Tin-Man,
I am a firm believer in the less is more attitude these days (posts to get my point across that is), again,take your time with your new car, learn it's quirks at low speeds and in a controlled atmosphere, as you get used to the car and how it handles, you can then add more power (through the throttle pedal) to the equation. With the wheelbase at 90", keep in mind the combination of throttle, braking, and over/under steer as the weight transfer is pretty quick in these cars. Again a slow learning curve is suggested so as to protect not only yourself, but the people around you. Taking the Bondurant course is a great idea, I went through one of his course in 1983 and still use the basics I was taught today. Most of all, regardless of anything else, enjoy the ride as there is nothing else like it on the road today.
Yours In Fords,
Bill S.
PS: Don't forget to take lots of pictures of your new ride and post them here in your photo album.........
