There is something special about an open wheel driving
experience. You sit low, just looking over the tires
and can reach back and touch the rear treads, you
experience what the wheels feel, you know they'll
stick and you're inclined to push it. This car is
loud, not a lot of top speed but it gets there in a
hurry and it will go its hardest over almost any
surface; black top, dirt, sand or speed bumps, it
doesn't seem to matter. A single lane u-turn at 30 is
as simple as pulling the cut break till your nerve
runs out, and the car spins delightfully and on gravel
it's the best way to steer. On a slalom run it's as
hard as you dare push. On the open road 70 seems 170.
At a stoplight sitting beside a Ferrari the other
drivers are looking at you not them, you know
what they're thinking; that looks like fun. What a
thrill, they're right!
