they're not easy to drive cars! A slow downshift on a straight road could make the thing spin like a top. I'm expecting to see a lot of these, unfortunately.

Sucks to see such a nice car retire so early.

What exactly makes the cars spin so easily?

try to find the Top Gear video where they take the CGT on the track, he spins out a whole bunch of times before he nails it for the fastest lap, at that current date, I believe.

605hp with 435 lbft tq and a manual tranmission in a decently ight car. Even Porsches test drivers have crashed the car. They were going to originally produce it without traction control until Porsches drivers insisted otherwise.

It's got nothing to do with power. Hell, kids with 900whp supras manage them fine.

It's the mid engine layout, stiff suspension, and pretty much no flywheel. That's a deadly combo for the streets!

I've tried to find detailed stats on that car, but it seemed watered down. Happen to have any good readings on it?
