    If the gear ratios were a little longer it would have gone a little faster.I'm sure they keep the gear ratios short for offroad use, but on road you can have long ratios to go fast. Also maybe stiffer springs could help. That all should help to get a fast laptime on the power circuit.
    Amazing piece of engineering, nothing cheaper can get you into paris dakar than this can it?

    Drove one of these in august and all I can remember, is that my ass hurt a lot because of the bucket seats. They were small, uncomfortable and the vantage point was really high (whereas bucketseats are supposed to LOWER your vantage point), compared to seats made by, for excample, Sparco. It was like sitting in a bucketseat made by Cobra.
    But damn, this car has power and it performs great. I only got to drive it in city and in Alastaro Circuit, but this is one fun car (but still won't buy one).
