First impression is I fit and have room for a helmet. Second thought is surprisingly smooth.

Wonderful clutch, decent gearbox, not obnoxious sounding. Not wild about torque steer on front and that 1-2 shift needs a blip to be smooth. I haven’t owned a manual in quite a few years but this was a very easy car to drive. Nice power.

I’m impressed. Wonder how much $$ it would take to get a go kart feel.

I'm guessing you could probably get the go-kart feel or most of it with some sway bars. Although at 3400# it's not going to be super go-kart-ish.
