Well, i got a chance to drive this beast and i have to say, i was impressed. I forgot it had 280hp+ until steve stepped on it I took it on some mountain roads and for an 8 year old car the steering still feels very good, the suspension soaks up bumps nicely but doesn't have a lot of body roll, and it just feels taught (except for the gear shift, which has a grand canyon sized amount of play in it). It's definitely a great example of how light weight makes such a huge difference
