Driving that on the street would be terrible. Way too low to the ground and way to harsh of suspension with no travel. Would love to drive it around once for maybe an hour, but owning it would be a waste. 12/6/2006 1:08:46 PM |

Are Indy cars anything like F1, where they're barely able to start from a standstill? If the clutch is that difficult (requires slipping even in 1st)...it'd be a royal pain in the ass on the street. Picture getting stuck behind some freakin soccer mom in her minivan talking on a cell phone, slamming on her brakes at every possible obstical. Yeuch.
Bet it would be awesome to have for track days though 12/6/2006 4:34:33 PM |

A normal Indy car would be horrible clutch wise. This ones probably got a non race clutch so it shouldn't be too bad. 12/6/2006 6:56:13 PM |
