What do you think of this car ..... Best fun I had around the 'ring mad as a box of frogs this thing , takes off on kerbs and wiggled its tail more than Beyonce !!
Not fast 190 bhp 8min 14 sec but mucho fun !!!
 
I love mine, I need another though because I fully tuned it (highly recommended). I do wish they'd included one in with the Duratec motor, though...
 
I havent driven mine, it was just sitting in my garage ever since I found it the UCD. Will have to give that a try!
 
It is awesome Bob just won 4hr Nurburgring in it so i'm put him on 9hr Tsukuba. Mine is modded out to the maxed and when I left for work Bob was on lap 15 and he had started lapping other cars. The great thing is the car doesn't use that much fuel and tire wear is less compared to the other cars. I have driven the car to win the British race after 3 TVR failed and a Lotus. The only problem is the little car will get pushed around and chased down in long straights
 
I wasn't really all that impressed with it - I was expecting a go-kart of sorts due to the light weight and good power/weight ratio, but I found it to be slow and sluggish and generally underwhelming in the corners and overall. With some tuning perhaps, but I don't see any need to go and buy it...
 
It's far from slow and sluggish. It probably feels that way because you've been racing minoltas and x1s all day. The seven is pretty quick and nimble...
 
The fact that you win it for completing the FGT championship, made me hate it guts.

But I had it before I won that, and it's quite funny to drive, after you tune it.
