What makes you think the car won't handle well? The real Shoguns were
killers - they would accelerate, brake, and turn like a go-kart! Remember,
if he designed it like the real Shogun, it's a mid-engine car. With the
large fuel cell up front (like the Shogun), I bet weight distribution will
be real close to 50-50.
I think it'd be a KILLER for the 2003 Challenge! Too bad he's selling it
and it won't be eligible!
