Well the owner of the car was after something unique and with insane power. That does not mean he has to go out and drive it like an idiot... It actually is currently on a set of Goodyear Billboards and there is a set of 18s for it to swap with some Hoosier R6s mounted up.
I had to get out in it for some miles in "street trim" so the Goodyears were on. It was just about 60F air temp, but ground frozen already. Needless to say it appears boring on film, but it certainly was not in the driver's seat. I never put it passed 1/2 gas and no stabbing it. I was to 100+mph quick enough. But it was busy roads with a hint of rain and temps dropping so away it went. Not to mention it's setup for E85 and there is only 1 pump in the entire state with it and I would never make it there on a 1/4 tank.
It can be driven like a 70hp leaf car, at idle it's got a gentle hum. The boost rolls in at 4k but under that it's making plenty of power to enjoy it for sure. Would I ever stand on it on the street ... no way!!! Clutch is light etc. Easy to drive.
