A bit slower than I expected. Very light and nimble. Tremendous gas mileage.

looking under the hood I never thoughtI'd see so many plastic parts.

Also not as loud as the forum reports, how do you activate the growl?

Underwhelming.

Wow, I gotta say that your description of your car so far; slow, light, tremendous gas mileage and quiet are the exact opposite of my car! Mine is fast, relatively heavy, gets crap mileage (not that I care) and is the loudest stock car I've ever heard....a bit embarrassing some times I have to admit.

I was going to chime in with a congrats but it sounds like you don't like the car. That's too bad. Is it different than the one you test drove?

Cheers,
Dave

The fact that it is smaller than the cardboard boxes was the first hint...

Foosh has been lusting for a lightweight F-type - this may be the answer...

Haha; pretty good model, I didn't even notice that it wasn't a real car......even after Foosh's comment (to my shame!)
