Message that car is truly amazing for a road vehicle that you can buy and drive on the street! I did'nt have enough time to really get the tires up to temp. and the radio /interior is kinda cheap looking for the price but as soon as you step on the gas...

You forget all of that! Dayummm,for 190 HP and 138 lb./ft Tq...that thing moves! I guess that's what you get when you
only weigh 1700lbs. Even with 2 people on board,it feels likes like it's making alot more torque than advertised.

The gearbox seems sturdy and is smooth as butter. It truly does feel like a go-cart...We plan to hit the back roads and see if he can lose me in the turns....I'm sure it won't take that long because I could carry so much speed through the turns where as in the Z you have to slow down and wait til the apex to get back on the gas...(no drifting on the tree lined back roads).

I recommend a drive if you ever get the chance.....I'm sure you'll be impressed.

Just thought I'd share.
