The whole "sex on wheels" would just be an understatement... Completely the opposite, only require a few simple actions: throttle and thrust but yet numberous pleasures.
Unlike most Beyonders, I'm not some multi millionaire who are used to providing in depth sophicated review on specific exotics they own. But I'll just provide my layman version as a working grunt how I feel.
Handling: Not sure how stock it is, but Rage's car handles exactly how you want it... No prediction, no over/under steer... Just all around "tight" handling.
Styling/Looks: The way this car sits NOW, makes you feel like Darth Vader gliding across asphalt.
Comfort/Interior: Simple, yet enough goodies (buttons) to keep you entertained (I didn't fuck around with your pre-sets Rage)... Interior, surprisely I've worked on other exotics/sports cars, this one totally wouldn't cramp even a 6'2" guy... You're still in a cockpit but roomy enough to move around, unzip, etc...
Audio: Turned it off during my drive. No comment
Acceleration: Don't even blink... I don't know much about these cars, just the way the transmission shifts (i.e. not sure how he tuned it)... it just makes you feel like a giant on the road taking ONE huge step while other's are taking 12 little paces to reach the same distant.
Braking: On demand. Not spongy, and definitely not grabby (where it catches and jolts you)... You feel like Fred Flintstone controling your exact movement. And it feels like the transmission somehow steps down as well during braking. (I'm not sure)
Gas mileage: I could had sworn I've seen a holographic display on the windshield with different money meter everytime you throttle.

Even though it was only for a short distance, but overall what a great unique experience. Thanks to Rage's generosity, so it wasn't like I stole it for a test drive while the car was at a shop I'm working in... Pretty much parallels being a minimum wage pizza boy delivering to an adult film house and being offered the chance to be a filler in one of the scenes. (case ref: Diabolic Spring Chickens #5, Trixie Kelly and the pizza boy)
Just pure awesomeness.
