This thing is just continuing to impress. Yes, it has a a boatload of power but it still punches far above its class from what one would expect from a souped up 25'000 USD 4-seat rental coupe.

Seriously impressive! Just look which cars are around it. Okay, not always same conditions etc., but still damn quick.
