Operation is very reliable and without issue and the engine pulls hard off idle up to 5000 rpm. It is a lot of fun to kick down at a roll as the car sets you back in the seat and smokes the tires. The suspension launches straight with no wheel hop when you mat it and spins the tires without brake torquing. The car as is would make a great reliable daily driver that would be a blast to drive everyday to work. It is really a fun car to drive with its throaty exhaust and excellent power.
