it's just it's probably either the most difficult car to drive fast through turns on one of the top 5 for being VERY difficult, however once you learn how to apply the massive amount of torque as well as deal with the 8 liters of engine up front it handles REALLY well, then again it better for having such HUGE tires :) I couldn't imagine how difficult it would be to drive one with 800+ HP like lms's :)

Unfortunantly I really do not have much track time in my SPG (zero with the car running 100%) at the track & when I am there they always throw me in with the most experienced drivers which makes it just that much harder to beat cool cars :) My last school my SPG was pushing 225-250 HP (due to leaking IC boots, should be 370 ish HP) & the STi & EVO8 that were in my group would pull me by about .5 sec a lap mostly due to how soon they could power out of the turns (did I say I need a LSD :). There was also a Noble M400, esprit V8, GT3 & (I have some nice video of all 3 flying by me :) a few other cars that were 1-2 seconds quicker then I was & every car was equipped with track tires (toyo's, hoosiers, Kumho's). I have no doubt in my mind that if I had more track time in my SPG that weekend (even with only 225-250hp) that many of those cars I could of beaten, I am use to driving my stock viggen there with street tires :) But then again...not really there to beat cars, just have fun.

my stock viggen is actually a pretty fun car to take there as well. I am not a fan of it's weight but the torquey engine does great!
