WOW. First the bad. The back seat is useless. I'm 5'10 and I sit pretty close to the steering wheel for someone my height. With the drivers seat in position there was maybe four inches between the front and back seat. I was planing on putting baby seats in the back, I'm not so sure now. Next, fitting a 12 inch sub in the trunk is going to be challenging. I can foresee some fiberglass work in my future. poop Oh, and the sound tube has got to go. The sound from it was more annoying then pleasing. I'll be un-corking the exhaust to return some engine noise.
Now the good. Oh my god it's flat through a corner. I was not expecting it to be THAT good. We've all read everyone else's review, they weren't lying. Every other car I've modified I've started with weight, suspension and brakes. Trying to make the most of the available power before adding more. I think this is going to break that rule. I'm not going to touch that suspension, it's perfect. It looks awesome to, much better in person.
The power was good, not awesome but certainly not lacking. I think the lack of body motion dampens the feeling of acceleration as most of us are expecting the car to squat when we get in the gas.
One thing that's not going to effect most people looking at this car. As I said earlier, I'm 5'10. I'm also 250 lbs. We've all heard how great the seats are, they even fit my wide ass, perfectly. I don't know how the engineers did it.

Thanks for giving us your impression gives me a good idea as im the same height.
I didnt get a chance to drive it because they had just received it around the time i arrived; the plastic still on the wheels etc...i noticed it didnt appear to have the pioneer bespoke head unit...
by the sound tube i assume you mean the tube they installed to let the engine sound into the drivers compartment area? I wonder what the purpose of that would be i gue Oh well minor issue.
It is a lot smaller in person!
Did they give you a firm date on when the next few are coming?
