Yes, she accelerates quite nicely and turns on a dime (thanks to the shortened wheelbase ... after 4 years of perfecting wide drives, I think we've finally got a great one).

I don't have any video at this time, unfortunately, but I do have some more pictures I'll post in a while.

Oh yeah, we also have traction control and a way to maximize thrust (driver definable) to the wheels.


Should be a good year.
