7th out of 20 for the years greatest drives.
Fairly positive write up in general but criticism of lack of ABS and poor support from the seats.
Good lap time around the Anglesey circuit (52.93) just beaten by EVO IX and Porsche 911 Carrera S.

Suprised at that though, I would have expected the Sagaris to beat the 911 Carrera S quite comfortably - It's nearer to 911 Turbo/GT3 performance really .

A Sagaris would pretty much thrape any car in its class in a straight line sprint but considering the EVO has computers tweaking everything and the latest porches are really balanced, these tend to go faster round corners. If the Sag had ABS, even if it was a fairly crude setup the brakes can be used a lot later.

The write up siad the lap time would have been quicker but for the seats. Apparently they could not go any quicker without coming off the seats. I'm suprised if this is true. At least the bonnet stayed on!
