If you need a couple of months to feel how good it is..the car isn't that good out of the box. Most "race kits" come with a setup and we ask for a current setup for our conditions for testing...so we have the starting "hot setup" from the day it hits the track. I don't need 2 months, I've raced these little things for most of my life...I'm actually pretty good at it

If it took me 2 months to figure out how car feels...I wouldn't be doing what I do for a living. We don't post a review the day it comes out. Some kits get less testing than others if it comes in late in the cycle and it's "hot."
