The serpent also jumps more level and lands better. I know some of these observations could be adjusted with setup obviously, but both cars had what was considered the current "good" setup on them.
I got the chance to drive both cars, because I was trying to decide which eBuggy to get, I chose the Serpent.
Good stuff. Getting the ECO set up right is a bit of chore. Yup, it has great steering, but the back end is too loose more often than not. I see a Serpent 811e in my future.
It's not going to replace my Ve8 though.
That's the best buggy I have ever driven.
