Well, the only time I got a ride in one (owned by my dads cousin), I came to the conclusion that it would be almost the ideal daily driver. But not in bumper to bumper traffic. The one I was in had the F1 transmission, and that can be swithed to automatic when you feel you dont want to shift for yourself. But its civilized enough to be driven everyday, yet extreme enough to be a track and racing car. Hope you get it!
