My path was 08 Ford focus, manual. 94 Integra (no VTEC), manual. 17 Evora 400 manual.

First rwd. First >150hp. First mid engine. No issue.

So your 3000GT is way more like an Evora than anything I had owned prior 😂.

Sure i'd driven friends/family luxo barge Germans & SUV. I seriously thought about a golf R or focus RS but decided those ultimately would just be stepping stones that would delay an evora rather than save/wait 3 years and just get the car I wanted.

Managed to get a lap or two in on a C8 & 911 before test driving the Evora - which was nice to have as a frame of reference.

Don't be an idiot on the street. If you're pushing g levels you aren't positive are good, do it where there's run off and you won't trash the car. It's still 4 rubbery bits we call tires holding you to the road. You mash gas and yank the wheel around and they no sticky like any other vehicle.

For me the biggest new things for the Evora were:

1) while the steering communicates, there is actual weight coming around. It's not german Luxorbarge. But it's also not 90's Honda tin can.

2) you actually have the power to pass on 2 lane roads.

3) the rear of the chassis takes a 'set' at the start of corners. Let it settle a touch before adding more wheel.

4) I had a 1/4" rear toe out apparently. It was very squirrelly at an autocross and crossing the middle road rumble strips. Getting an alignment solved that 😅. Being new to mid engine I just assumed they all did that, sir. Until my rear sidewalls cracked with at least 50% tread left.
