First car and didnt know how to drive stick but now im ...decent at it lol. Im sure the 8 can handle me 
. I think its going to be a nice transition though, itll take time to get used to the early power but i'm sure its not a big deal. Oh and I guess going from an AWD auto to a RWD manual takes some time too, as well as learning to drive it in the ugly jersey winters. Anyway, all in all im excited to pick one up and hopefully ill be part of the group soon! Ill let you guys know you guys are alot easier to talk to then the Z folks...

I drove mine throughout Jersey this past winter. No problems here.
If you decide to get one and want to be prepared for the winter, I have a set of winter tires already mounted on winter wheels that I put about 3000 miles on this winter. We should be able to work out a deal

Power!!
Getting the high flow cat definitely changes the sound. And actually adds a little more HP. I would do that instead of a cat back exhaust if you had to choose between one or the other. I've heard the Greddy, Racing Beat, and Borla in person. IMHO the Greddy sounds the best of those three but is also the loudest when cruising. It's not buzzy though. I personally would get the RB but just because I wouldn't want something as loud during cruise.
