there a good car,but if you think there up to the level of a rrr or a prospec,your kidding yourself
i think performance wise it is up there with the RRR. I'm not only basing this on jeffrey lin's performance on one weekend but a couple of races now. what really sold me on the fact that this car is good is that Ryan namori in the amatuer class is the first amatuer to lay down an 18 lapper for amatuer and he did not just squeeze in the 18 laps.
Do i think it is better than the RRR no but if it in the same level with lower costs on pricing for parts i'm sold.


another car i'm considering is the mtx4 so i guess i'm getting which ever one gets released first i know the mugen kit price will be up there with the rrr but mugen prices on parts are reasonalbly priced and they do last long based on my experience with the mtx3
