Got a ride in my neighbor's limited the other day. Very quiet, very smooth, very quick. It's a grown up car, now.

Very numb steering, very crappy shifter linkage. Turbo gives out well before redline.

Otherwise agree with you, sshole.

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

I didn't get to drive it and he was still breaking in (keeping it under 4000 rpm), so I can't comment on steering or shifter feedback

Subispeed is the name of the site.

They were gracious enough to let me have a go in the blue car featured in the video. I agree with the sloppy shifter comment. The clutch pedal felt weird too (but now i'm driving an ACT Stage 1 clutch), but that is something you'll get used to.

Otherwise the car is pretty damn good.

Yes, if you remove the front and the back, it does.

Pictures do not do this car justice. It is much more muscular in person.

I completely agree. When Jeremy and I saw this at the L.A. Auto show when it debuted, I knew we had to jump on one.

We already have coilovers and wheels and tires installed and it really comes to life. The car is quite bold and "in-your-face" in reality. I'm definitely a fan.
