You don't need to be a fanboy to appreciate what this car is setup to do.. It's pretty descent right out of the box.. And a great platform to build upon.
a lot of what you are saying is wrong. my point was just that its not that hard to find faults. this car is cool, i just think its cool despite as many things as its cool because of things (i have no idea how to phrase that sentence)
