RSK Member 340 Member For: 17y 8m 20d Gender: Male Posted 29/08/08 02:37 AM Share Posted 29/08/08 02:37 AM I'd say the fun in these cars comes from their lack of grip (and having traction control off! ). Boot to the floor and hang on. Whether it's the rear end getting loose into 2nd gear, or leaving 30 meter tire marks from a set of lights.

Just can't beat all wheel drive. Driving these takes a lot more restraint when getting the foot into it. You can have your tune adjusted to make the power come on more smoothly which may help prevent putting it into someones front yard.
