Those bloody rose-tinted specs have a lot to answer for I can tell you. It's the only car I've ever driven that could do dive, squat, bump-steer, understeer, oversteer and griproll all in the same corner . Never again. It got gracefully retired after one meeting.
Built mine, installed mamba max and lipo - drove in a circle in the lounge, applied throttle and did a complete 360 loop. retired without ever racing and for sale soon looks awesome but don't have the space for more display cars.
