    The car is very driveable at low revs up to about 4000rpm, similar to the standard MR2.
    4500rpm Very Exciting.
    6000 - 8000rpm Mind Blowing.
    Then add a few seconds squirt of nitrous-ORGASMIC!!!

    Handling is very stable and predictable. Braking is excellent.

    Overall, a very fast and safe feeling car to drive.
