It’s a comfortable go-cart.

I’m just a 62 year old that puts 150 miles a day on Kentucky twisties and on street legal autocross tires. I drift every day and smile a lot more than that. I’ve had it for a little over three years and have 110,000 fun filled miles on it.

Manual six speed.

Apparently it is becoming quite the go-to car now in the ricer circuit. I can not emphasise the fun factor enough on that car. 19” center of gravity, rear wheel drive fully independent and limited slip.

Did I say go-kart? I meant slot car.

I’ve owned 24 cars in my life, including a Vega GT and a fairly tricked out Opel GT. Nothing I’ve owned came close to the thrill of driving this car.

Oh, and 33mpg average...

Only down side: I’m on my sixth set of tires. But that’s the cornering I do. It’s on me.

Sounds like you’re having a great time.

I’ve got a ‘14 Genesis Coupe but I don’t have that much fun with mine. Cops take a dim view of drifting in the DC Metro area. :)
