Oh don't worry, I have given up on beating my brothers' cars in 0-60 times a long time ago. With the awd, 2 liters, and turbos they beat vettes off the line to 60, let alone a car with an engine almost half the size. Nevertheless, I heard good things about cornering with this car.

Yeah, the car is great at being easy to drive fast. it is just so forgiving! I actually dropped two wheels off the side of the dragon due to ALOT of gravel on the road, and was able to recover as if nothing happened. Would not have been able to do that in the other cars I used to drive. My friend Adam, who is a seriously badass autox driver, played a game at a track day a couple months ago were he switched back and forth from an 86 to the 8, and said the cars felt surprisingly similar, the 8 having more power obviously, but the general feel was the same. Now THAT is a huger compliment to give a chassis!!
