Well, the first thing I noticed was the sluggish 4th gear upon tackling the main straight. Putting that aside, the car did great in the corners. The suspension and LSD were very well put together! The car does tend to feel a bit stiff on entry though. One thing I did enjoy though is how relaxed you feel when driving this car.
Pros:
- Very stable
- Great suspension
- Great overall balance
- Great amount of grip
- Great to drive
Cons:
- Stiff on entry
- 4th gear is quite sluggish
My Score: 98/100

Whoa! This car blew me away immediately after I started driving it! The acceleration is tremendous for its power band, and the cornering performance is pretty much spot-on! The balance is good, the LSD is good, the torque kicks in just in time, and it's absolutely stunning, in terms of performance! On some occasions, it may feel a bit stiff though.
Pros:
- Great acceleration
- Great overall feel
- Great overall balance
- Great cornering performance
- Great amount of grip
- Suspension and LSD work very well
- Stable even at high speeds
- Effective rear wing
Cons:
- May be a bit stiff in mid-corner
-Mild understeer
My Score: 99/100

Pros:
- Great amount of grip
- Good cornering performance
- Good suspension tuning
- Very stable
Cons:
- Mild understeer in entry up to mid-corner
- Acceleration isn't too fast
My Score: 97/100

Epic. Just epic... The car is really fast acceleration-wise, and the cornering performance is just amazing! The car feels very well planted to the ground unlike the others for some reason. I took me a while to realize that I've actually passed the sector checkpoint, since the car was just too much fun! Haha!
Pros:
- Great overall feel
- Stable
- Great cornering performance
- Great suspension tuning
- Fast acceleration
- Well tuned
- Very fun to drive
- Effective rear wing
Cons:
- May be a bit loose if you push it too much

I noticed that the whole car has been reworked since season 1 took place. Well, I'm even more satisfied with it now, than before! The understeer has been evidently reduced, the cornering performance has been improved drastically, and lastly, it keeps the same aura an EG should!
Pros:
- Drastically reduced understeer
- Great cornering performance
- Great suspension tuning
- Very stable
- Great balance and feel
Cons:
- Transmission
My Score: 98/100

For a car like this, it feels really sporty, yet very easy to drive! It doesn't feel too heavy, it corners really good, but it does however, kick in with some oversteer. I do believe that cars like this should have a bit more recognition in these kinds of environment.
Pros:
- Easy to drive
- Great cornering performance
- Great suspension tuning
- Great overall balance
- Great overall feel
Cons:
- Oversteer is often present, if you punch it too early
My Score: 99/100

Pretty good, if I do say so myself. Acceleration is pretty good, but I somehow feel that the suspension could have been refined. The car tends to pull wide on the corners though. The balance and feel is pretty good!
Pros:
- Great balance
- Good acceleration
- Good suspension tuning
Cons:
- Front end tends to go wide
My Score: 97

Well, this is weird. I've never really thought anyone would enter a Kei-car. Haha! Well, it feels pretty scary, actually. Finding the braking points were really tricky with this car. On some occasions, the car would end up going wide, even with my foot completely off the gas. Nonetheless, it's a very unique choice and a very exciting car to drive.
Pros:
- Really quick for its base
- Exciting to drive
Cons:
- Feels quite stiff
- Front end tends to go wide
My Score: 95/100

Pros:
- Great acceleration
- Great cornering performance
- Great suspension tuning
- Great balance even without wing
- Great overall feel
Cons:
- Hint of oversteer
My Score: 97/100

In terms of acceleration, it does pretty good! In cornering however, it tends to push during corner entry and exit. Aside from that, I guess 5th gear could have been longer, since it nearly reaches its limit on the main straight. Nonetheless, great car!
Pros:
- Good acceleration
- Good cornering
Cons:
- Tends to push in corner entry and exit
My Score: 96/100

All 3 testers are going to be involved in the battles right? Or is it just you and Mat since Slender's time zone makes it hard for him to join?
I've grown a beard waiting.
