POTD!!! You can't make a drag car handle well anymore than a car that can handle a drag car. This car is going to be a GREAT balance, and one that can be comfortably driven on the street.

One thing that still bugs me when I read it is still the crap comments about visibility out of the car. It seems to me that if you want a car with good visibility, it looks boring, like say, a Mustang. It really has no character to me. I mean - it's no Prius, by any stretch, but that comment just turns me off of a reviewer just for saying that. Either you want a boring car with huge, straight-up windows or you want some actual cool bodylines and good looks; you don't often find both, IMO. I can't think of many cars that pull that combination off.
