Jane, I am glad to hear you are finally coming over to the dark side. Although Black is a bit darker than I would have imagined.
Sticks are cool and this one will be tight. That alone is worth some extra bucks. Tiredretired is absolutly right there. When Mrs Gump bought her low milage stick last summer, I couldn't believe how tight it felt as compared to my
rode hard and put away wet roadster (@ 36K miles).
So, unless you wish to spend some dough bringing it back to bristol condition, it might be worth $14K on that alone. You are a consumate driver and would be much happier with excellence.
Besides, you are gonna need all the edge you can get to keep up with this ole gear masher at the Dragon come fall.
