Message is that I strongly disagree. I believe that....

- the car will be hard to drive (except of course on high speed runs). Those turbos are going to hit hard and fast, and the car will not be easy to drive fast. I can imagine fighting that thing on corner exit, trying to modulate the throttle as those turbos come into boost. Over the course of any kind of substantial amount of fast driving it is gonna wear the driver out.

- I see a stock radiator and a whole bunch of stuff in front of that radiator. Running it at high rpm, under hard acceleration, it will overheat for sure. Quick runs up to speed on the freeway - no problem. Backroad runs for any substantial amount of time - meltdown.

My opinions, but those two points are not stretches. Those things don't make the car "less nice", but I think you have to realize that in certain situations it will be totally out of its element.

Like I said, I'd race that thing on a back road, without a doubt.
