Well, a 3300+ pound curb weight, a 6300PRM power peak (just 200RPM shy of redline) and a high 5000RPM torque peak combine to make it feel lethargic below 3000. I didn't check the mileage on the demo car I drove so I'll allow that perhaps it's still tight, but car magazines have commented that "another 30 or so horses" are needed and these are broken-in press fleet cars. As tested, it runs 0-60 in 6.8-seconds and the 1/4 in 15.4@93. Considering it's got 60 more HP than the PGT/MX6, I'dve hoped for quicker times. So lose some weight '6 and get some more low-end grunt (a VRIS-style system might help here) and you'd be nearly perfect.
I liked the car, alot. $36K is too rich for me (I'd rather buy something used and have some playing around money left over) but I wouldn't kick it out of my driveway for farting. For the money, I just hoped for a bit more.
