I was a passenger in one of these a short while back and although it looks the part and is blisteringly quick, I did not feel safe in it at all. At 100mph it was shaking and rattling. Perhaps it's the character of the car. In all a very raw car indeed.
That sounds worrying. Was it on a bad road surface? I can take my hands off the wheel at high speeds without so much as a wobble, it's properly planted on the tarmac. In fact it's that characteristic that makes the car what it is.ThatPhilBrettGuy said:

At 160 mine felt like it was about to leave the track.
Something not right there. Only problem with mine at 180mph was the rev limiter...snuffy said:
Maybe it was because I was comparing it to my Esprit Sport 350. That felt glued to track at 170, but the Nob felt very light at the front.
It's amazing how these machines seem to differ....i have never experienced this lightness at the front. the faster i go, the more squat it feels!! i have so much confidence in the car's abilities that it's almost silly! DeanoM12 said:

Mine feels light when you get into triple figures. I wonder how much differenceyour carbon "dive planes" make Deano? Where did you get them from, i really want some?
