[QUOTE="ICONRep, post: 287228, member: 2238"] For the first part of your question there was quite the thrill ride taken.....including breaking the wheels loose like it was nothing at 90mph and hitting about 150mph seconds later. That is one of the craziest cars I have riding in. The power put you in your seat and gave you that tingle in your stomach.
