We hit Eagle's Canyon a couple of times per year. But, from the Houston area, its kind of a pain. Still, you're right about E.C.
Eagle's Canyon had a bunch of walls in really shitty places and gigantic ditches in runoff areas last time I was there, which granted was like 2014-2015.

It’s a decent spot, it’s just not a Grand Prix circuit designed to the max. Still a nice track.

Cresson was my favorite by far, but I enjoyed COTA and ECR as well. Did you ever go to Hallett ?

Nope, not familiar with that one. I’ve only been tracking for 3 years and haven’t been to many places. Still lots to try. I’ll Google it.

Ah, yeah. After looking around for when the color was introduced, it looks like the Firehawk didn't come in DSOM.

DSOM is Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic, which was introduced in 2001. They ran a bunch of ads with a DSOM Trans Am that year. Dodge also made a similar color and put it on the iconic 2005 Viper Copperhead Edition.
Came across a nice DSOM one tonight with just 29k miles that looked like it was in real good shape but it was on facebook and I dunno if I even want to consider attempting buying a car from someone via facebook.

Guess it depends what kind of interest places are going to actually give me if I go for a trans am, too. Kia motor finance will give me good rates if I go the new kia route but I feel like everyone's gonna try and double digit me if I go the trans am route despite having super high credit/etc. just because they can/don't care if I don't take their loans.

Facebook marketplace has become sort of the defacto private party sales site now. Sucks for someone like me who refuses to get facebook.

Consider this the universe concurring that it's a bad idea. A car like that shouldn't be a daily driver, especially in a state that gets snow. Save your money, bank the savings from what you would pay for this expensive boondoggle, and buy one to be a garage queen at such a time you're financially capable of buying it for cash.
