Ron, you will note I said nothing about the driving of one, I have
never had the pleasure. I hear they are great cars to drive, but in my
opinion, they are nothing to look at.
That bit about sticking the wheels 2 feet inside the wings was a BAD
call, IMHO. looks like they tried to graft a swoopy body on a go cart.
They may drive like a dream (and I have heard other opinions about
that), but they have no looks.
Again it is just my opinion, nothing else in here matters. It is all
about an opinion.
