I enjoy he statement of "the fake CF dash."
He gotta look carefully into that design, it's not CF design. LOL

Best review I've seen to date of the car as a sports car -- what really makes it pop is having Randy in there doing his thing.

that got me pumped not going to lie!
Also i like his warning to tuners on how any change could seriously mess with the chassis balance. Which I think stock form is what I'd always want to be at. It seems like it is a hybrid, fun for drifting, fun for track, and fun for normal driving. I only track occasionally and would want to drift but again only on occasion so stock settings seem optimal. To bad i want a supercharger and different wheels. Afraid ill never get the same balance again. |
