Needless to say the car really stands out in a crowd.

I spend about 2 months refreshing it all and Ive been driving it for the last 3 weeks

about 500 miles! It is so much fun.

Shifting is 1-2nd 20mph 2-3rd 45mph 3-4th 50+

Loves cursing at 70 and shift at 4000 RPM!

Also it is a very comfortable ride.

With the front and rear stabilization upgrades make it really stick to the road.
