Why do alot of you seem to think that length = poor handling?
The Maserati MC12 is something silly like 18foot long and is supposed to be awesome to drive...

It is the long wheelbase that does it.
Look at the tail on the Maserati. It is HUGE. Otherwise it is just a Ferrari Enzo with different bodywork for the track. Not suited at all for the road.

WhatTheFuss? This car is quite good , even if you don't arcade it.




Take off the driving aids , but leave 2 or 3 traction control in , change up when the rev needle begins to oscillate before the redline and then do faster and faster laptimes of places like the Infineon with a range of tyre tests. Because the thing is so freaking heavy & long it takes up the scenery as you begin to master the circuit through one of the better management challenges per course . Maybe bob would like a bip , & don't forget the 100hp oil change. RELAX ! , it's FUN ! & if you're worried about 200grand then you are'nt racing.

I was disappointed with the sound. I expected a 30 liter engine to sound a bit more intense, to say the least...

I also expected 1500 ft/lbs (or so) of torque to get more wheel spin.

P.S. if you want go-kart handling, go try the Caterham.
